Black Skimmer

Nothing show-stopping here, but I really liked the direct eye contact and the super warm, end-of-day light coming in low over the water. We can see just enough of the far wing to give the body and image some depth, and I feel I must have done something right to get the toenails as sharp as I did. I don't have many shots of these guys low on the water, so it was nice to mix it up a bit.
