Critique: NC:

Went over to Del Valle this morning to walk the river trails at the Austin wastewater treatment plant. Found this skimmer on a nice perch, so I tried to make the most of it.

#1 Peek-a-boo

#2 A more quartering view

#3 This was taken about an hour after the first two...it was still on the same perch

Very nice wing details, Kenny, and clean backgrounds (and no dust bunnies).

I like #1 for the angle. #3 for the great colors in the body.
