Great photo. I've tried to photograph these without success - and you've managed two of them, complete with detail and dimples in the water!

Nice shot. I like the color. I had no idea that they bite, but then I've never tried to catch any. I have no comment on what they appear to be doing. :o)

And still afloat during the process! Great find and beautiful photo!

Amazing creatures and great detailed capture.
I remember that they bite with a sting.
