Excellent capture, Jack! Great use of shutter speed and ISO. I find these skimmers amazing too. Their speed and abilities are amazing. I have seen only a few.

I can’t help but wonder if they sometimes catch on a seaweed or something and flip over!

Perfectly timed and at just the right angle. Well done, Jack!
