This was taken at Bolsa Chica wetlands on Sunday. I spent a few hours getting images of skimmers. This one was a surprise that I didn't actually see happen until I looked through my shots later. I was shooting with a buddy of mine who got the exact same shot and posted his on Fred Miranda. I don't know how skimmers don't go crashing through the water when they hit something but I have not seen one this contorted before. It looks like he is about to roll right over but he kept right on going as though nothing had happened. Hope you enjoy.

What a great moment to catch.
Maybe just a tad dark?
