    Sharp, and I love all the water beads on the male's belly. Check out those feet too. A lower angle would have been nice, but I suspect that it was not possible here. Bummer about the branches in the water, especially the one in front of the female.

    Awesome action shot Jonathan, great detail and I love the visual of the male's feet. Very cool. Ideally I would have preferred a lower shooting angle, better head turn from the male and more space in front of the female. TFS

    I am such a fan of behavior images and what an experience this must have been. I agree with a lower angle but imagine it wasn't possible. What struck me most was the shape of the male's foot...just amazing.
