    Very nice Joe, like the BG wave, skimmer's pose and wing position. I do find the bird to small in the frame, would crop in a bit more TFS

    Agreed that the bird looks small relative to the crop.

    The OOF white edge of the wave in the front seems a bit distracting.

    The whites look rather hot on my end?

    Joe, I like how you have captured the skimmer between the waves, and with a good flying posture. The whites look fine from here, and another vote to have seen this larger in the frame.

    The shape of the wave in the BG makes this image very interesting and if you cropped it would take that feel away. Looks like he could be hanging with the surfers

    Exposure looks good to me and I like his slightly open beak

    Thanks Noelle. The feel you described is what I was trying to convey. I'm glad someone sees it as I did. Thats the great part about this medium. So subjective , and soooo many different ,and all valid, opinions.
