Bobbing For Bugs

Caught this purple martin dipping into the water after some eats. There were a couple and they were busy feeding some small ones in a nest a little ways away. This is about 50% crop.

D7000, 300mm f2.8 / 2xTC. f/5.6, 1/1000 sec, +1/3 EV.

Walt, Nice timing to catch the splash with the wings up. I like the position of the feet too. The catchlight makes a big difference here. To my eye the image could use a bit of CW rotation.
