Brendon,

My word that is an amazing BG.

Not to sure about the skimmer itself, as it seems to lack detail, is this a large crop?

Hopefully somebody maybe able to help you out with some ideas as to opening up the skimmer and make it pop .

Cheers

Ken

Brendon:

Very strong graphically, nice colors, maybe a smidge tight on top.

Skimmers are a challenge to get a lot of detail in at times, and with the bird this small in the frame, don't expect to see a lot of fine detail.

I do think the image works overall though.

Cheers

Randy

Hi Brendon, the pano works well, and you have captured lovely colours in the water. I only wish the skimmer was larger.

Lovely light and colors in the light. Not sure if this is a crop or if there are some undesirables that needed to be cropped out, but i could see this as a larger photo ie bird smaller in frame and sort of a bird in habitat t type of thing.
Perhaps just a smidgen of cw rotation.

Excellent moment and colors. loved the super pano crop. if you can fix the blue cast on the white, it will be better.
