Neon Skimmer
by Buck Ward
Black Skimmers feed by flying low over the water and skimming their lower beak in the water, snapping up small fish. It's cool to see. They do it in the low light of twilight, so it's hard to photograph. This picture was under-exposed and a litle soft, so I fiddled with it in PhotoShop, using the neon glow filter mostly.

Remember;... always use photoshop for good, not for evil.
