Thanks Ann, Paul, Bruce, Jack, Wendy, Shel, Godfrey, Peter, Rick, Ken and
anyone I may have missed for commenting.
bottom line: I tried to isolate the bird with focus and I seem to have
failed... One of my goals was to get a skimmer on the beach by itself in a
frame-filling shot. Well, the little buggers really like their buddies so I
never got close to any single birds. I tried for the sharp bird with out of
focus colors behind but I guess the background was just not OOF enough.
Thanks again for commenting. It's honest responses like this that help me
improve my photography.

Here is an adult black skimmer with his buddies:

I'd appreciate comments on this one.
Thanks!

Id like him to be in sharper focus and the fall
off to his buddies
more pronounced -- couldn't you get him to move?
:) :)
Bottom line, doesn't work for me - and most of
your birdies are spectactular.
but I like the idea of it... one sharp bird the
the blur of color in the bacground.
