Awesome, David….......great dof, considering the speed factor!! F4 was just right!!
Probably right up there with one of the best motion shots, under a duress, that I’ve seen.
Ripples add the movement factor, the skimmers beaks add a great splash of colour…..comp is fantastic….....a sure fire winner!!
Fave!!
