Black Skimmer

[Doug Brown]

Here's one from my recent California trip. The skimmers were much more active as evening approached, and this was one of my last frames before I lost light.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, details and eye contact. The BG looks a bit odd. There are some green and red blotches too big for regular color noise.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice wing position and eye contact. I would like to see more light in the BG.

[Arthur Morris]

Pretty much perfect. Axel's eyes are too sharp for me... I would only wish for the wings in the full upstroke position.
