This is actually a take off shot, but as he was quite high up from the water, I havent captured the exit splash. Taken at my local pond in Pretoria a little while back.

Brilliant image.
The sharpness is perfect and I really enjoy the head angle and beautiful wing pattern.

Nicely captured Stuart - sharp, lovely colours, good exposure and the droplets of water suggests the recent take-off.

Nice shooting angle, HA and eye contact. The forward wing position is excellent and the water droplets add interest. It is a great flight shot, Stuart.

The wing postion is reminiscent of a ballet position; very graceful. Others have noted the positive aspects of the image. Well done Stuart.
