Oriental Darter darts across the water really fast. I wish the head was more distinct or sharper.

HI Jay !!!! I like the action and low angle but do need more detail and sharpness. Did not list the exp compensation but the image was probably underexposed? Opening up in PS causes the murky looking darks you see in the wing.

For this image to work you need good light on the bird. The light angle seems to be from the right. Also careful/accurate panning is a must !!!!
