Project Interaction: Aerial Confrontation

[Ken Lassman]

Aerial confrontation between adult Skimmers above the nesting colony. Not sure if the feathers on the upper Skimmer's bill is from an attempt at one of the chicks, or is a result of the adults nipping at each other (hopefully the latter)

Looks good Ken Very nice interaction captured !! Glad you got ample shutter speed for making a sharp image. Whites do not look over but would like seeing some detail in them, would also desaturate the sky some !! Excellent !!!

Ken:

Good critique from Alfred. Do really like the interaction shown. A bit of recovery on the whites would make it even stronger.

Cheers

Randy

Ken, I really like this shot. Agree on recovery on white will make this image even better.
Great job.

Ken great action!!! It was nice meeting up with you! My only nit is the sky, maybe desat just a bit. Congrats!!

[Fabs Forns]

Way to go with the action, Ken. Wish you could see the eyes more and agree on de-sat the sky.
Thanks for being part of the project!
