Chasing one of these while hand holding the 500 over the water and manually focusing is what I like to call work!! But a lot of fun at the same time... don't get me wrong, I love every moment of it. This image was also made from my recent outing at Ft. Desoto.

Great angle, light and colors, maybe a tad oversharpened.
