    Great timing! Love the bird and reflection, and the bit of his path showing on the water.

    Just amazing - these are so hard to capture. Amazing DOF for f5.6, not to mention AF speed with the TC1.4x added. Smooth water with reflection showing underwing details and flared tail is great.

    Awesome Shot! Such a pretty setting the pose and the shadowed reflection make the shot for me.... Well Done!

    Very cool photo and a very challenging one to get! I particularly like the flight path marked by the wake, and also the reflection of the underwing detail.
