African Skimmer

[Nevil Lazarus]

This was a target for pictures on my trip to Namibia in October. They are wonderful to watch as they hunt in their unique manner.

Beautiful image Nevil! Excellent techs and awesome light and colours. Some noise reduction on the BG will make this even better. Shame we can't go tomorrow but we don't want to get in trouble with the authorities....:D

Fine shot of a bird which almost always gives great photo ops. Great comp and exposure. I might have removed the twig in the lower left corner. Just my taste.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the wing position and multicolored BG. Great shot!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, wing position and eye contact. I wish the band in the BG were not there and agree on NR. There seems to be a S/H halo around the wings.

[Rob Drummond]

Great timing and wing position Nevil. Noise easily fixed.

cheers

Nevil, I can understand why you would have this as a target species. A wonderful subject nicely captured in flight. Great timing.
