Very nice shots, Kirk.
The last one is my favorite. Great eyes in all of them.

Nothing looks better than nailing those eyes on these guys Kirkster! Such a dynamic impact with eye detail and then the neutral tones of the plumage.

A great feel to the light here, nice work with keeping a pleasing amount of shadowing. Colors and details are splendid, crazy nice blue water................you are magical in your zone my friend

These are some beauties Kirk. Who needs standoffish skimmers anyway.

Excellent set, Kirk. You nailed them all. #3 is my top favorite since it is so beautiful when the grebe cleaning its feather.

Very much appreciate the encouraging words Tam. I was fortunate to get this nice preening shot with the eye still visible.
