Shot on the Salt Springs Run in Florida. This is one of those perfect situations that luckily I was able to capitalize on. A take off close to the boat heading into the late afternoon sun with lovely water conditions. 65% of full frame, hand held.

Excellent action shot Mike. Excellent light and a nice narrow depth of field. Great splash too. Ray

I'll agree with Ray and Howard. The feather detail is excellent. The tech specs look right. Good work! devil

Super lighting, detail and action. Nothing I dislike about this image - I suppose a lower angle from your perspective (certainly not the birds!) could have been possible but I don't think it would have enhanced it too much

Sweet take-off shot, Mike. I found myself wishing for a slightly better angle but you nailed everything the bird gave you.
