Very nice Harvey, This is a tough comp to crop, I think it might flow better with more room on the left.

This is an interesting shot, Harvey. I like the birds in opposing powerpoints.

Very nice!!

Hi Harvey

I like this image a lot. Only change I would have made if it were mine would be to crop a little off the bottom and add some room on the left. Well done.

Regards,

Terry

Harvey,

Nice work. I like the location of the two skimmers in the frame. I agree with the suggestion for a little more room on the left

Harvey,

I also like this one, neat to get two birds that far apart in focus.

Sweet, but if you are gonna make one crop it needs (IMO) to be from the bottom! Best, Artie

Cool shot, Harvey. I have enough trouble getting one bird in the frame for a flight shot and here you have two. I'd be tempted to crop a little off the bottom but this is still and excellent shot.

Harvey,

I think the crop accents the diagonal line the Skimmers make. Lovely, simple and clean image!

Tough exposure leaving you with little detail in the shadows. Still nicely complementary wing positions and placement in the frame.
