Hi Geoff,

Did you use HDR or something as the tones look odd to me. The second is a beauty

Skimmers always put on a great show and you captured some cool shots with nice reflections. Well done.

Thanks Geoff, I didn't have too many options with my shooting angle and the direction of the sunlight, so made the best of the situation, glad you enjoyed.

Thanks Morris, as far as HDR, none of that. I just dropped the overall exposure and pushed some shadow details in post, that's why you get that look, the directional light of the sun along with black birds and a dark background made for interesting contrast and exposures hence the look. I have also noticed that our skimmers here in Trinidad are mostly migrants and they are not in the best of shape "Plumage and Color wise" compared to yours in the US where they breed.

Well done, the birds alone would have been great, but the reflections put these over the top.
