Captured this skimmer while walking the beach at Ft. Myers at sunset.
D200, VR 70-300 at 270MM, f7.1, ss1/200, manual exposure, spot metered, flash(-1.7)
Thanks, Ed
Very beautiful image with lovely reflections and excellent eye contact which is quite difficult with skimmers, I do find the crop to be a tad tight and would like to see more canvas on the top and to the left. Congratulations and thanks for sharing Ed.
I appreciate your comments. I went into over-crop mode trying to eliminate the incoming wave. Here is the un-cropped capture, I could not decide if the wave was a major distraction.
Sorry, this image looks soft on my screen.

Well done with the flash. Lighter and more room would both be plusses.
