    Glenn this is a great capture. I've seen this behaviour many times before but I never got this close. I love the low angle that you've got. Were you standing in the water?

    Awesome pose! Looks like a John James Audubon pose. Nothing not to like here.

    Fantastic Glenn, your choice of shutter speed was perfect to capture the action without completely freezing the water.

    Interesting behavioral capture Glenn. Nice details and low angle of view. Nice job.

    Very well done in every way. Great timing, good low angle, lovely light, and the behavior too. Only nit is maybe you could have gone to -0.7 to keep the whites a bit toned down. Great image.
