Black Skimmers take flight at Fort DeSoto

Caught early this morning at Fort Desoto FL right at sunrise. A group of black skimmers rising into the sky.

Processed with PS effect - dry brush, then added texture.

Kevin, I like the formation going on a diagonal and the soft golden colors in the BG are fantastic.-Wish that they were all separated-but I guess it's pretty hard to direct them from the ground! The opened and closed wing patterns are interesting. Good use of the filters.

Hi Kevin,
I like the feel to this one...the color tones and hues are beautiful. This is a very good recording capture. I too like the diagonal flight formation...I can tell you to clone out the three merging birds to make it picture perfect, but this is more natural. It is what it is...congrats...:cool:

Yes, I agree with Gus. I was thinking that same thing and then thought "No, this is how they fly...let it be."
