Really nice. Did you havbe anssistant on a ladder with a fish :)
I suspect this might snap the colors and lines with a very tiny contrast increase- just my 2 cents for whatever that is worth. But try it there at home---you might like it.

Great BG, Pose, and exposure. Might tone down the highlights just a tad but other than that, great!

Very dynamic image, love the colors and the shapes created by his (or her?) gesture.

Now THAT is a seriously cool HA! Wow! Fabs, did you do anything to the BG at all as far as blur or special treatment? It's almost looks like what you'd see in a panned photo yet your bird is perfectly in one place.

No Jules, all I did here was a linear contrast curve and take an inch of the top. The waves did that by themselves :)
Thanks all and Lou, I'm still waiting for MY olives ;)

Its always good to see thinking OOTB, and I like this Fabs. Good detail shown, and those blues in the BG look great. Well captured.

Outstanding shot Fabs. Color and detail are wonderful. We have lots of olives and vodka here on LI , so think about a trip next summer. Would love to have dinner with you and Al again. I'm sure the skimmers will be back.

That is pretty crazy. Great shot to get the timing just right - in my experience this happens pretty fast.
