This may not be the last skimmer that I post. They are fun and a challenge to shoot.

Nice pano version to fit the orientation of the subject. Cool the way the light reflection corresponds to the center of the birds body.

It's beautiful. Love the comp, angle, skimmed "trail, and the glimmer of light in the center.

Richard I love the leading line you captured. I think it would help this image if you opened up the crop a bit so the wings aren't so close to the frame
