40D with Sigma 500 f/4.5. f/8 and 1/1000 sec at iso 800.

Added: Was taken at Brazos bend state park, Texas.

Taken at high sun. Had it tough controlling the highlights.

C&C appreciated.

Thanks
Anand

Anand, you did well with the lighting, nice freeze frame with all the water splashing going on. I would like a lower angle on this.

Nice action image, light and sharpness. I might crop a bit off the bottom. To keep details in the whites you could have dialed in some negative exposure compensation.

Very nice bathing action, with highlights in control. I like the plants in the water in BG.

Neat action, maybe a tighther crop from the left?
