    This one is diving for a fish in the Susquehanna River. Full frame on the horizontal, cropped from bottom, I added a sliver of canvas up top. Mk IV, 800 f5.6, iso 640, 1/1600, f7.1, shot manual mode from tripod/wimberley.

    Herb:

    Nice dorsal view, with lots of detail, well exposed, dynamic pose.

    I might add even a bit more room on top, perhaps double the current amount.


    Look forward to more.

    Cheers

    I think, managing the exposure might have been quite tricky.
    Very well controlled shot!

    Fantastic shot - love the colours and fine detail. I agree to a little more space on top.

    Thanks to everyone for comments and the added canvas suggestion. I added canvas on top, twice of what was there already, as per Randy's suggestion.

    Herb - original was great but repost is even better. Great tension created by the dive angle. Wonderful detail, exposure and comp.
