Skimmer Banking Away

[Al Brown]

This Skimmer was shot at Nickerson Beach. It was the last of three turning away from me and also the easiest to track. I thought the color of the background washed out the bird some. I wanted to get others OP's before I did any other corrections.

Hi Al - like the pose with the outstretched wings - nice catchlight in the eye and caught him just in time before he has flown past you. Not sure that the flash has had much effect.

I would assume the underwing area's are supposed to be white - would sample that area and see what colour you get - Posssible colour cast?
There is some info in the educational resources forum on how to remove colour casts - in fact there is heaps of good info in there - often over looked by folks.

Keep em coming :)
