Very cool; I think you picked a good angle to show the dimples in the water's surface. I love the monochromatic feel to this shot, too.

Well done!  It's an amazing shot for a 100mm lens, given how 'restless' they are.  I love the reflection, too, especially the way the legs appear to come up to the surface dimples from below.

The low angle is just right, so is the reflection.

So interesting to see just how this critter actually "walks on water". Excellent!
