Nice capture. I like the pose with the wings spread and the one foot out of the water and the water droplets coming off the back leg.

Really nice job of exposure on this Sandy. With the mixture of blacks and whites, not such an easy thing to do. I also like the action and wing position. Good work!

Love the crossover, wings up "dance" pose here, the LP looks terrific Sandy.
Cool shot!

I love the action in this one, Sandy. The splash from the rear leg is great. Nice job.

Sweet take off capture Sandy

I like the wing position and lifted leg. Excellent detail too.
