Wicked pose. Is the BKGR water or sky? What are the droplets from? Sharp with a good EXP. Where?
What, no flood??? :)

The BG is water. This was the morning after Irene, and the waters had receded. We had some significant damage along the waterfront, but it could have been much worse. This fellow was at the shores edge, but was not feeding. He was just watching me try to move up. I don't know where the drops are from... (thought the straight line of drops was unusual though) He burst upward, and I just tried to follow. I didn't see his twisting "tern" until I reviewed the pics. The location was our little town beach in Bellport on Long Island, NY.
Thanks for looking.
Mitch
p.s. I may have to suspend flood for the rest of the Hurricane season. I don't want to tempt fate.
