Canon 7D2, 100-400 II with 1.4X III, handheld at 560mm. ISO 1600, f/11, 1/1000 sec. Very basic LR adjustments and a very small amount of smart Sharpen on the resized JPEG.

In a frame before this the female is above water and in a frame soon after, just the back half of the abdomen is above water, sticking almost straight up.

Diane, Great action captured. Love the fact that reflection is completely captured.

Nice behaviour shot. Nice and sharp. (also like the water tension surrounding the female's head).
