    Default Black Skimmer

    Canon 50D + 300 f2.8 + 2x
    1/1250, f8.0, Av, Evaluative Metering, +1/3, iso 400

    A lifer for me. This bird allowed me to crawl close enough, the trick was to tease him out of a flock of gulls.

    All input appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Sidharth

    Good placement -- sky doesn't look natural to me and I wish for more detail in the bird

    I attached the wrong image in the OP. Please ignore it.

    Not sure how to remove it. Here's the one I intended to post :(

    wow...tons of details Siddharth...loved the bill texture. and perfect exposure IMO. Catchlight is a must-have here(dark eye with dark feathers around) so glad it is there. IMO, this definitely needs more room on top and front.
