Wow.. I think the under exposure gives a real nice effect!
You must have been in the right place at the right time to be able to take such an action shot. Very well done indeed!
There's almost a dreamy glare over the bird.

Cheers,

Hi Allan,

Perfect timing, and the side/back lighting really projects the bird against the dark water.
