James, This is beautiful! I love the colors, comp and reflection. The water spray is fantastic!
Your choice of shutter speed has worked wonders...I love the sharp head and blurred wings. Beautiful color layers and flying droplets. A most appealing picture indeed!
The light and the colors are beautiful.
Lovely and different look at a skimmer. Light hitting him beautifully and the spray is terrific. Excellent low angle in the muck.
Sweet light and low perspective. Which day?

Great light and excellent shooting angle, James.
I could actually see this as a pano crop with about half the reflection trimmed out, but I like it as is too. Excellent flowing water drops, low angle, and sweet light.
Love the colors, angle, and dynamics. The water droplets are a great addition as well.
Such a cool image. Your angle is awesome and the colors are killer. Motion blur adds to the excitement for me
Beautiful image,light is pure magic,like the water spray,nice pose,well done.
Beautiful shot. Love the light and the wing blur.
Well done.
Excellent light and a great dynamic situation, congratulations.
