That is - swim under the pier at the first sound of my footsteps approaching above! By kneeling on the decking and holding the camera out over the water I was able to catch him before he totally disappeared.
Love the reflection ripples in the water and the beautiful tail feathers! I had to smile picturing you kneeling on the deck, holding the camera out over the water to get the shot. Amazing the things we do to get our shot! :-)
Lovely capture and reflections, love that tail curl.
