Good job catching the skimmer coming towards you and with the focus right on the skimming behavior. I like the addition of the second bird, just oof enough to not be distracting for me.

I like the low angle, the DOF, and the OOF trailing bird. The V angle of the wings allows a closer look at the head and beak while still having the entire bird, with the long wings, in the frame.
