This is from last week. These guys are big and make quite a splash as they kick off the water's surface to get airborne. They don't do it gracefully and they do struggle, but they get it done. They are common here; I never tire of watching them at work.

Excellent action shot!! Love the pose, great timing, like the water trail and the big splash.
Well done.

Very nice comp adn IQ looks good. Good colors and like the splash and pose. I would give it a CW rotation...Looks almost HDR'ish
