    Wow! This is a fabulous shot. I love how clear the splashing water is. I have to work really hard to get water action this clear.

    Hi Judy. Good sunlight and calm water until he started to motor across so fairly easy to capture reflections.

    Cheers Steve.

    Thanks chubskulit.

    Hi Kerri. For once the caption came to mind straight away.

    Thanks Kim USA.
