Look at that crystal water being cut by the Skimmer's bill. Lovely composition, nice EXP control and great to see the eye with a catch light at that.

You froze the moment perfectly Andy. I love it. Looks awesome for such a BIG crop. WOW! THanks for sharing. :)

[Ted Scalzo]

This is great and you maintained such nice detail with the large crop.
Excellent.

Nice detail and I like the way the bird is angled. I might lighten the eye a little.
