Very cool. I have some photos like this of my own somewhere around.
Not sure if this is straight out of camera or cropped later, but I do find the crop a bit tight. Would be nice to see all the wings and some space to see the droplets flying away as well.
Head is blown out a little, but by the looks of it, the day was still very bright. Still, no deep shadows so I think a lower ISO or higher f-stop might have helped there a little.
Good sharpness, and unusual moment/pose captured. Well done overall.
