This has everything going for it - colour, contrast, composition and taken at exactly the right moment.

My wife, who is the better photog, and I were at the wetlands for maybe an hour or so. The time of day was late afternoon and there was quite a bit of activity. We were able to take a lot of shots, but this one was the most fun for me. Fortunately I was set up and ready when he/she flew from other side of the channel to near me. This was where preparation met opportunity. Thanks for the comments! /Craig
