Love it !!Great action stuff- I can't resist birds and water I love the D7000- wouldn,t be without it !-even more so the D7100
Pity about the lack of eye detail but can't do much with allthat spray!
Good stuff.

Now that is some water action! Such an intense bath, and you got it at the peak of the action. Lots of good details, and the comp is just right. Although the head looks good I find the overall image a tad bright - perhaps lowering the highlights (or overall brights) would be good.

Joe full on splashing action which is great, agree with Daniel it looks a tad bright, maybe even a tiny bit of gamma correction would suffice, very nice.
