Black Skimmer-coming at you

[Lorant Voros]

Another skimmer after diving into the water and coming at me. I love these birds...acrobats of the air.

Lorant:

Skimmers certainly are fun to watch and photograph. Perfect down the barrel composition. Amazing how long their wings are, and how slim the bill.

Well exposed. Wish the face appeared a bit more distinct. Not easy to do with flying water, and keeping your point of focus on that little head, when straight on, isn't easy.

Cheers

I like it, the skimmer ist here perfect in the middle, the wings are in good position and it seems so, that they are focussing the photographer as well.
