Nice exposure control for a very tough subject! Love those colours and water droplets Homer

The exposure though difficult has been done in a masterful fashion. Very nice capture of the iridescence.

Homer, very cool coming at you with a nice head turn pose, lovely iridescence captured and you've handled the exposure so well.  I really like the wake, gives a sense of him chugging right along.

Yup... you captured the wonderful sheen on this male which is what it is all about. Very nice and great low angle.

Excellent job of getting the colors in the head as well as detail in the whites.

Nice low angle shot Homer. This species still eludes me (as in getting close).

Lovelly image Homer, this is an amazing species.. The BG looks a bit washed out, perhaps a touch in pp would improve it. Nicely done.
