The males are performing beautifully as per usual at this time of year, but I also gave some love and attention to the females. Images of this species are a dime-a-dozen as they are ultra tame at this spot, so when photographing them it is as much about choosing the best water colours and patterns.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/200s., f/5, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, FF, a few specks in the water removed via spot removal tool, same for some minor bill cleanup. Darkened the pupil.NR to the BG.
