Well, there is a lot of this going on at the beach these days:D. I was surprised that the female here let the male try again even though she already had the fish. Taken with my new D300s and Nikon 70-300VR, f/7.1, iso 500, 1/2000.

Very nice capture of this moment. Are you saying female skimmers only want the fish? :)
Sharpness and eye contacts look good and would try to get more details in the blacks of the male bird.
Excellent moment very well captured and agreed with Axel here

Looks like bunny season with all these images;) Moment well captured Nancy, and I like the extended wings. Good to see the fish too.
Well timed with good exposure, detail and action :) Well done Nancy !
Wonderful Image...talk about being in the right place at the right time!!

Nice behavioral image Nancy :)
The black stuff in front of the females bill is a bit distracting to my eyes and I wish the angle were a bit lower and there was more detail in the birds heads and more definition to the eyes.
Whites in the males wings look a bit hot.

very cool Nancy, great details and low angle, agree with Jim, would clean up the stuff next to the bill.

Fantastic capture, Nancy.
For some reason the male cracks me up. He looks like he's trying to pedal a bike with his little foot. :)
