Water off a ducks back

Out shooting wakeboarders this afternoon when I saw this lady giving herself a bath by scooping water with her beak and throwing it over her head. Made a quick grab of this as the water slid off her. Not up to the standard of the other shots here but I thought it was interesting.

Thanks for looking, C&C always welcome.

    Great Shot

    I have tried to catch this shot also and it is harder than it looks.
    You where able to catch a lot of water still on the back.
    I guess I need to improve on my timing.

    How many times did you try before you got this shot?

    Take Care,

    Thanks Charles.

    This was from a single attempt, she stopped immediately after I took this.
    To get it I put the camera in burst mode, watched her a once to get the timing & then shot 3 in sequence. I've added the others here.
