    Where do you find them? Open ocean, marinas, or ????

    I love that reflection. Good shot.

    Really Good Jeff, maybe you can be the Skimmer king as well as Butt king.
    Did a fine job in Post and like the way the skim line comes from edge of frame and leads you right to the bird thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    tough choice between the two skimmer shots. the first one shows the animal better from the side. this one, although from behind, it a great shot...the skimmed trail makes the photo IMO. well donethumb.gif

    thanks Steve I do listen on the comments about comp. and learn I have .I think all of us that shoot birds and stuff have a hard time with the real good comp shot you can not set one up very often .you take what you get and work with that .This shot i saw coming and lucky I had the new lens a somewhat good setting .I am proud of this shot, far from perfect but for me it's OBOY O BOYclap.gif Steve do you ever get down to LA ne_nau.gif if you do lets go shooting BEN JEFF and the rookie :): :):
