    Default Skimmer

    Here is a picture I took of a skimmer that was resting on a jetty with the other members of the colony. Would be nice to have some more details in the whites I think. I had to lower the jpeg compression a lot for the 200kb limit. Comments are welcome.

    Lorant, I think details in whites are fine. I like the exp. on reds as well. Loved the BG. Good call on f-stop. If you have in orig, then more room around will help IMO.

    Nice portrait of this guy with great dof and a nice show of the tongue. I see some good detail in the whites myself

    Very sharp. Love the calling pose and the detail in the BLACKs of the cap. The off angled light made dealing with the WHITEs difficult.
