water skimmer

still working on getting a decent shot of these things.

I'd say you're doing pretty good Rick.

I don't remember seeing an image of one of these. They're pretty quick. Good job.

Nice clear, sharp shot Rick!

i looked for the other one too, couldn't find it. I might have posted in the macro section.
I did, here it is for comparison, they gave me some good advice on shooting them. I think this one is better, but could still be improved. Water should freeze in a day or so here, so I might have to wait awhile to try again.

Nice doing, Rick. I'm nowhere near as close to the subject, as you are with your image. The water plant makes for a very dramatic shot.

I'd say you did it. Sharper than your previous attempt, but they're both pretty darn good. It's a tough bug to shoot.
