Skimmer in Habitat

[Harold Davis]

these birds dont have many places to go anymore because of population explosion in their habitat. so i decided to leave it. why clean it up?

You still sore from the walk???? Got to give it to Fabs, she didn't even broke out one drop of sweat and I was dying. I actually like the Bg on your capture.

Hi Harold, I like your capture of the skimmer and positioning but to be contrarian I find the backround gives a sense of place but detracts from the skimmer itself...

Hi Oscar,
How long of a walk is it? I will go there for the first time next week.

Hi Harold, lot of detail in the feathers and my favorite view .. like the bg but I know is not to everyone's liking !! Sweet !!

Hi Adams its close to a mile ... more or less, colony you can't miss, just go over the lagoon and hang a right !! At high tide does get deep !!

Hi Harold - I love it - for me the BG just adds so much to the story - I would not EVEN consider removing it.
Love the wing span and the eye contact.
Nailed it - IMHO!!

Since I know the place so well, the habitat just makes sense to me. Nice sharpness and EXP control and good post processing skills.
