Nice acton photo. Wish that the tiny drops of water sprinkled over the body have given the expected visual effect.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice freeze. the flying droplets look good. Good job on focus , not easy with a moving subject and the reeds all around.

You got good depth of field. The water droplets look nice. Unfortunately, there were lot of reeds and it was difficult scene. With your 100-400 you could move close. I was carrying the heavier 400 f2.8 lens and was not able to move much.

It is not easy getting the focus right when the bird is moving between reeds but you could lock the focus right.

Cheers,
