Mixed bag at the lake - one duck, two frogs, one leaping fish, two dragon flies in flight

This was my first time using the MC14 teleconverter with my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 zoom on my EM-1 mk II to see what that combination could do.
Duck and fish were about 150 yards distant. They were cropped fairly heavily. The fish was a happy accident as I was scouting this area with the camera and the fish jumped. Pure luck.
Frogs were about 10 feet away, so just a moderate a crop.
Dragon flies were about 5 feet away. If you thought BIF were a challenge, try DFIF (dragon flies in flight). They barely fill the center auto-focus square, and rarely are in one place for more than one second. These DFIF images are basically lucky shots. I pre-focused in a certain area, and when the DF flew into the area fired a burst. These are the two that were the best of about 50 images. These are exceptionally noisy as the crop was pretty drastic and the ISO was
Enjoy
Constructive C/C welcome.
All images captures with Olympus EM 1 mk. II, 40-150 f/2.8 with 1.4 teleconverter.

Great series Gary, you did a great job of catching the fish and dragonflies in motion.
