Black Skimmer

I'm not sure how the hell it took so long for me to capture a decent skimming shot, but I'm stoked with water trail in this one. I would have liked to avoid the shadow on the back, but that would require less staggered wings and cost the image depth. Low sun really helped me hang onto the whites on this high contrast subject. Gotta love this unique behavior!

Foster City, San Mateo County, California, 11/20/20
Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS 1DX Mark II
1/3200 at f/5.6, ISO 1600
