It would have to be a very big pond though :D

This is a baby, just over seven months old.

I've always wanted to get a shot like this in the wild. Hopefully I'll manage it this August when floating down the Zambezi in a canoe. 'Til then, this one will do :)

Terrific shot and just enough DOF.. I hope you get this on your upcoming trip, but until then this will def do.. For printing, and although it would take some time, I probably would clone out the flash highlights on the water droplets on the mouth.. Otherwise I cant think of any other suggestions. Kickin photo! Just love the green water, and low angle...

Yea, I did think about cloning out the flash spots, and if I had too I would :wink:
