After many tries I finally got one sorta. It's not perfect but I'm happy to get these shots.

Great work Claude, not an easy task. They're really moving at that point in the dive.

Cool shots, nice catch.

Very nice Claude. I like the head in the water capture. I had fun shooting these guys and I know how fast they turn from flight to dive. Great job!

Great action shots, Claude. They look to be very fast indeed there, but you froze the action beautifully. Good shooting!
