sunrise skimmer

[carole wiley]

Sorry, you guys are stuck seeing skimmers from Nickerson Beach from me for a bit. This one taken with 40D, 500f4, AV at 6.3, 1/160, iso 800. He looked pretty proud of himself.

I like it Carole

Lots of good things going here !!! Clear visible eye, good whites, sharp, low angle and good eye contact

Light was soft enough the side lighting didn't give you problems. Might give the bird a little more room but like it as presented !!! ... can't get tire of these guys !!! :)

Carole, You did well with the lighting. Agree w/ more room. Nice and sharp! Well done!
