Killer BKGR and a great look-back head angle. That is one ratty looking skimmer. BTW, on Monday morning we saw a total of only 4 Black Skimmers. It was very nice meeting you at the beach.

Hello Herb,
Love the light colours head turn and the BG. Well composed image
Protect the cause of our own existence
It was a great image. Wonderful light and lovely BG.
Regards Geir Jensen
Love the lighting and the background, but what I love most is the look of this skimmer giving you
Nate
WOW Herb. This is awesome. I love the wing position and the look back head position is amazing. Superb BG.A wall hanger for sure,
Gail
Cool! The glance back the skimmer is giving you makes the image for me. I wouldn't have seen any bubble if you hadn't mentioned it...even then I have trouble making it out!
Herb:
The birds angle in the frame shows off both wings well, while the head turn back towards us really helps with the sense of contact here.
Nice light, background and prey. Well done. Bubble is a non factor at my viewing size.
Cheers
Randy
Beautiful light, beautiful exposure, beautiful detail, beautiful BG. And great look. What bubble? You had a field day with these guys.

Thanks for all of the comments, they are appreciated very much.
Good plan. I am not sure where they were headed.... We sometimes had large groups around NYC in DEC.....

Excellent shot! Sharp, good detail and exposure. Maybe some NR on the BG.
