    Yes I like it! I must admit it is a "frequent event" on my pond but as it is sometimes so fleeting I suspect some of these actions may be out of hunger or possibly aggression? I will try to capture a similar situation - we actually have a bit of light today!

    You and Jon are making me want to get out and try shooting some of these guys! (I'm not sure I have the patience to wait 4 hours to get the shot though. ) This is a very interesting behavioral image with good exposure, comp, and sharpness. Very nicely done!
