    Neat how the bird makes a triangle. The light looks very nice here. The skimming action is another bonus.

    Tough shot to get! Maybe a tad too close to get tack sharp focus.
    Dramatic and great POV...

    nice POV, focus is dead on, we can even see the beak serrations under the film of water covering it, the cropping of the wings is a bit awkward, I think a bit wider FOV would have been better here.

    A good shot for sure. Astonishing birds, I wonder what their hit rate is.

    Great job on hitting focus like that. Well done.
