Way cool. Love that drop. A bit less contrast, a bit more detail in the blacks, and a low perspective would have been killer.

Thanks for comment
I add more contrast and darken the blacks just before posting the image... I felt it was too flat, I should have gone with my first impression.
Raul a very nice behavioural image. It took me a few seconds to find the drop but it really stands out when you do. I love the blur of the caudal fin of the fish which is accented by the flying water drops.
Great title, and action. Well seen.
Nice action. That drop of blood really stands out.

Thanks for comments, but after looking at the picture and reading Arthur comments, the picture is not what I wanted. Here is a repost. One of this day I will get it right the first time ( working on it, I am reading APB II as I type, received today)

Better Raul. Now just decrease the SAT in the yellows and the greens a bit and you will be there!

Awesome caption for this image and unbelievable capture.
Artie has covered it all. thanks for sharing.
The repost looks better but I agree with Artie's suggestions. The timing is great and that red drop adds to it.
repost^2
Thanks. I agree...here is my last repost.Originally Posted by Axel Hildebrandt
I going to spend a couple days reading ABP II, lurking the site and working on my PS.:)
Hi Raul,
The last post still have a strong green cast. You did well with the catch. Was this using Auto White Balance??
My guess is that the green cast got introduced when I did the levels adjustment, I click the midtone eye-droper on the grey feathers on the heron.
