This was taken at Viera about 3 weeks ago. They move along so fast, but I wanted to catch one image with them out of the water. I was pleased when this opportunity came around. Taken with the Nikon D300, Nikon 500 f4, f7.1, iso500, 1/4000, -1.67 ec, matrix metering. Thanks for looking and all C&C welcomed as always:).
I like the out of the water pose! Looks like it stood still just long enough for you. I'd look into brightening the eye a bit, and crop some off the top.
Love those legs and the red eye. The mud could use lots of work--eliminating the crud and then blurring the mud a bit would be great if you are OK with doing so.

I like it, those legs are great, although I wouls try to darken them just a bit and give them more saturation, I just find you signature extremely big and distracting.
Nice shot!
