Interesting indeed. Darters are unknown species in our area.
About sharpness: with most Pentax camera's I think there is only one acceptable setting for wild life that is AF-S with spot AF aiming for the eyes while saying a little prayer .

Interesting bird!  The body looks sharp but the head doesn’t; I’m guessing that 
they don’t hold still very much. The highlights are also rather intense.

I always enjoy your photos of the flora and fauna in the opposite corner of the 
globe!

Unfortunately back lit. These birds are closely related to Cormorants but swim 
with their bodies totally immersed giving the impression of a swimming snake. 
The second image (by a fellow photographer, Ian van Romburgh) shows that very 
well.
