Lovely shot, those reflections in the water are great! Nice action caught too and nicely composed.

Caught the action superbly and, like Dawn, I like the reflections in the water.

I think Pete W a pair of waders & a tripod would really help in something like this. For me the POV is too high. Look at other postings here as the is one person who, for me, has a cracking POV and has been posting this style of imagery for quite a while.
