    I like viewg of the head from this angle and the soft lighting. I wonder if there is room for a tad more sharpening on the head.

    Excellent skimming action of a juvenile. Nice sharp details and exposure looks good. I might try to show a bit more detail in the belly area if it were mine. I like the way the water looks w/ it's reflection barely showing.

    Thanks Denise, The tiff shows a lot of detail in the belly area. When I downsized it for the web the belly got a little brighter and shows less detail. I appreciate your feedback.:)

    Lovely skimming action, wing position and background. Good comments above; might go back and try to coax a little more detail out of the belly.

    Well timed to capture the skimming action Michael, and I like the eye contact. Well placed in the frame too.

    Beautiful action captured. Belly seems a bit bright , as stated. Super details otherwise.

    Looks pretty darned good to me. Is this a crop from below and right? Love the 45 degree angle of flight.

    Thanks Micheal. I was assuming the central sensor somewhere near the head.

    Perfectly timed and the angle towards you takes it over the top. I also like the multi coloured BG.
