    I was wondering where you were

    Good flight pose and habitat. Somehow you are loosing the detail on the whites, although hard to tell on this small size. Good to clear the head off the wave.
    Nice ha

    Thanks Fabs. I applied NR on the entire image, could be why the whites are losing some details.
    Hope I will get back to my photography routine soon.

    Lovely pose, BG, and exposure, Troy! I only run NR on the BG. I love the water drop on the bill tip. You could try a linear burn on the brightest whites.

    Looking forward to more!

    Aidan,
    I will re-edit it again using NR on BG only.
    Thank you.

    Nice flight pose Troy...agree with Fabs on the habitat - for me, the water waves actually made me focus immediately on the Skimmer. How low was your shooting angle? Nicely done... don't stay away so long :D

    Nice light, BG and eye contact and I only wish the near wing were higher up.

    Agree about the wing Axel, I hope to get the perfect wing position soon.
