    I watched this bird for quite a while this past September as it sat on this rock crying out to be fed by it;'s parents...who were still happy to oblige by the way.

    The tide was coming in and I knew it was just a matter of time before junior got swamped, and fortunately, I was able to capture his dunking :)

    Very nice! I like the spray, drops and the way the color of the feet comes through the water.

    Great timing. I like the wavelet and raised wings.

    This is very nice. The wave is a huge plus on this one. You did well keeping your subject in focus.

    Very impressive, major wow factor for me! What I noticed first was, as Jim mentioned, the leg color showing through the water. Very cool.
