These little buggers can be a pain in the ass. I spent over 20 hours taking this shot over a 4 day period, I tried all kinds of different angles and backgrounds, Over 400 shots taken and only a handfull of keepers.

They stop moving?!!! Amazing to capture that moment, and nicely highlighted by the background. I'd crop a little bit more off the bottom.
