If you go any lower you will need a scuba tank. Great angle! Wonderful exposure and love the water drops. The water level seems a tad tilted but maybe an optical illusion. Bravo. :)

A very beautiful and unique image, the low angle adds much to the impact! it needs a bit of rotation to level the horizon.

Hugh,

Very nice shot. I like the flying water drops.

A great head-on wingspread with a low angle. Love it.

Love everything about this one. The low angle and head on shot work perfectly with the wingspread. Nice timing.
