Such lovely feather and plumage detail there Max.

Sadly the darters I saw in Oz never gave me that pose!!

A super picture this lad - thanks.

It doesn't look like it should be very agile out of water but a nice balancing out by the darter. Outstanding picture showing great detail and color. Excellent work Max!
