    Wow how cool. Great sharpness and details.

    The only nagative I can see in the image are the glaring highlights, you can try to use a mask but usually with this type of over exp you would have to convert another image at -2 and blend the highlights with a mask. Takes 5 minutes and would be worth the hassles.

    Really good job for 1/200! Out of curiosity, why F9?

    Some tough highlights but an excellent natural history image. A little minus exposure comp probably -1/3 would have helped. The dark water was influencing your meter.

    Thanks for inputs. I have to stop working on my laptop or calibrate the display.
    Why F9? Because I have to learn to slow down and check my settings and don't get caught in the excitement of the moment. ("rookie moment")
    Here is another attempt:
