An early morning image from Nickerson Beach. The huge rain-caused puddles are nearly gone, except for a couple small ones back in the grasses which made for some nice opportunities as the birds came in to bathe and drink in what's left.
Great shot Grace. I really like the dorsal view coming at you, the eye contact, exposure looks right on, nice comp and the grass background makes it different from most other skimmer images. Well done! Congrats on 1000 posts!
Hi Grace, I like the overall composition. The diagonal line of the bird and placement in frame. I also like that you can get a sense of habitat without it being distracting. Good show.
Like the bird and the setting but there seems to be a big cast on the whole bird, even the blacks.
