These are so much fun to watch and "stealthy" like bitterns. I love the placement of the feet and obvious concentration in his face. I find the OOF log in the BG above a tad distracting but 9 times out of 10 your going to have some clutter with these. Still a great capture!
Looks like its about to do the splits! More likely it's being tentative and testing the footing? Anyway, it's a wonderful shot. Would love to get a capture like this.

That extended leg reminds me of the "Keep On Truckin" cartoons from the 70s .
