Nice detail and action. Cool water drops. Did you use a flash? The subject is much lighter on the back.

No flash used. Just late afternoon natural light.

Hi Milt Good looking bird in sweet light Would just give more room and lighten the bird just a tad Good things happens in good light conditions !!! Like it a lot !!!

Hi Milt - a bit tight at the bottom and a lower shooting angle for my personal tastes.
Not sure if the HAP might want to speak to you - I would run some NR on the background there is some noise visible.
Sweet light and good job on the exposure.

Hi Milt,
A very nice capture indeed...I see a considerable amount of noise in the background...your head angle is off a tad, needing some CCW rotation and an upward tilt and rotation. I agree with giving this fellow more room and would have liked to have seen a lower capture angle...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Good action capture. Only wish you had a little better head angle.
Congrats
