Great wing position and BG. A little centered for my personal taste.

Axel, Another excellent image. My personal opinion, and it might not improve the image at all. I think I would have placed the bird slightly higher in frame so that it looked like the Skimmer was flying from the top left portion of the frame towards the lower right side of the frame. Agree that it could be slightly more left.

Beautiful image, Axel and framed so well for my tastes. I love the way the four tips - two wings, beak and toes point to the four corners, and that surf background is a treat once again!
