Another winner, Paul. The light is great and the exposure captured fine detail in highlight as well as black.
A beauty.

Great shot Paul! :) :) Awesome light, great pose, perfect exposure - well done! :wink: Personally I would like to see a bit more room to the left - but this is not a nit - just my personal taste. :wink:

This picture reveals just how robust the bills of a skimmer are -- pretty sturdy instruments...
