Wow. What a day. After and excellent first 1 1/2 days today, SUN 1-20-2103 was a dream day at the Barnegat Jetty. All five folks on the BAA/A Creative Adventure IPT left thrilled. This was one of my very favorite images from the day and the trip.
Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the 1.4X III TC and the EOS-1D X. ISO 800. Evaluative metering -1 stop: 1/2000 sec. at f/9.

I love these diving duck photos and keep trying to get them at the Point of entry like this.
Very tough to get, it happens as quick as flight.
I like the tail flip!
Arthur Sir:
Magnificent moment captured, great timing.
Love the pose,beautiful colors,sharpness, reflection of neck and head colors on wave and above all trailing of water droplets from the tail.
Artie - It was a fantastic day and this image is all the more perfect because I know how hard you worked to achieve it. Great timing and the tail makes it for me. Pano works super here too.
TFS and for the fantastic IPT/Creative Adventure,
Rachel
Hi Artie, this is different and I like it lots. Pano suits the diving pose, and overall well exposed and sharp. I like the surrounding choppy water, and even though everyone has mentioned it already - yes that curled water spray from the tail puts this over the top. Well captured.
