    Doug:

    Neat to see a juvi skimmer doing the skimmer thing!
    Good shooting angle, well exposed, nice symmetry, good wake, good eye for a skimmer.

    Only wish would be for a slightly more elevated wing position (to eliminate the merge with head)

    For personal taste, a very small crop up for the bottom, it seems to 'orient' me a bit more, since there is no horizon line. Hard to explain.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Doug,

    Nice low angle. Though I can appreciate Randy's comment on the wing position, I like the wing position here.

    CW rotation needed - use the skimming streak to rotate it. I would also try in PS shadows/highlights adjustment to open up shadows which will also lighten up the water.
