Nice capture. Did he just come out of the water?

No he has both legs, just that he has one tucked up. No this is the full image, and your second question is that this was taken with the Canon 100-400mm L IS lens.

Thanks for the your comments.

Still, it's a wonderful photo. You should be proud.
This was shot with a monopod with the IS turned on. Yes the bokeh does look subtile here, but with this image I will take what I got with it. I would say that the bokeh is the result with the exposure with the IS turned on.

Again thanks for the comments on this image.
