Doug,
Fascinating, astonishing, beautiful.
I'm trying to figure out why there is water where there is water behind
the foreground bird's wings in the 2nd image. It looks like he's batting
his own body's wake aft with his wings to generate thrust. Do they
do that?
The most amazing thing is that in all that commotion in the first
image,
the eyes are in perfect focus, on an animal heading straight at you.
What was it you said earlier about zeroing in on the focus on the
eye? :-)
