Wayne, this is a very nice capture of this Widow Skimmer. You have nice details throughout the DF, and a pleasingly smooth background behind him. The colors are nice and rich in him. Very nice.

John Wayne: Looks real to me - real good! Looks like a perfect subject and the OOF leaves in the BG on the bottom add some nice interest for me. Top notch shot. >=))>

Wayne, this is a fine look at this Widow Skimmer, with it well isolated from the background. They are very hard to get isolated like this because they tend to perch on or near the ground.

Thanks Bill and Mark, I’ve been watching Keith Bauer’s presentation on hummingbirds this morning. The helpful comments and presentations such as Keith’s has had enormous impact on me and others on NPN. Thank you so much.
