Wow, what a hell of a capture. Nice luck!

Wonderful capure. Ver enjoyable sharpness of the bugs, almost metallic in feel,against the smoothness of the water. Very, very nice shot.

 

Wow! very impressive. Subject is great, technique is great, sharp as heck...perfect.

What an amazingly perfect capture! Simply superb.

Now thqat is perfect timing. Captued perfect. The lighting and composition as well as reflection are awesome.

Rare catch.

Thanks everybody. I shot this a couple of weeks ago along with the two previous shots in this folder. All three were taken within 20 feet of each other at different times of the day and from different directions.

Amazing.

I have never seen anything like it. Great picture.

I had never seen anything quite like it either. Here's a pic to show how piled up they were at times. What I'm puzzled by, is there were thousands of them paired up and in the first stages of sex, but I never saw a single one actually having sex during the two days I was camped out in this area. Maybe someone that knows more about them than I do could elaborate.

"swan lake" ... very nice

Great shot - how did you manage to freeze the action and get enough depth of feild?

Thank you, everybody for the comments. Robert - I'm pretty sure I shot this from the lake shooting towards land and the sun was to my back in the very late afternoon hours. I captured it in a vertical format and the only crop was off the top and bottom. f9, 1/500, iso400, 210mm

Perfect at all!

The light is great, the reflection as well! Fabulous composition! I've never seen anything like this.

Agreed-beautiful capture. I especially love the reflection below. Congrats.
