    Sweet action Kurt. The splash is really cool but is there a grub in its mouth!? Even cooler.

    Digging the composition. Solid contrast and sharpness is great. Some might balk at what appears to be the nic membrane over the eye but it's not too pronounced.

    There might be a sliver of blue hue in the whites where they transition to blacks? Something to just take a peek at.

    Love the shot, well done!

    Talk about timing. Really like that green water. Nice job with the framing.

    Near frozen splash ans pose. The eye definitely looks glassy. Do you have a "good" eye from another frame in the sseries?
