I thought this was an unusual splash pattern, but since this shot I have captured 3 more images of the same splash pattern at different angles.

Amazing. Perfect focus on the splash. Maybe some CCW rotation?

[Joerg Rockenberger]

CCW rotation for sure. If the sharpness is there I might even go for a close-up of the head/splash. Forget the reflection and the body. JR

Amazing capture , agreed on totation

OMG.. what a splash this is. front view is adding more.. agree on CCW rotation and one round of NR

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

ROtation, but splash is a killer man. That is a wicked catch! THanks for sharing. :)

[Dave Barnes]

Super moment captured Daniel. Nits covered.

Hee-hee--Pretty interesting symmetry on the splash Danny! I think if you crop in on just that part of the pic and rotate as others have mentioned you would have a more powerful comp.

Very cool capture of the splash although it does need a little rotation.

[Kiran Poonacha]

this is superb.. loved it.. congrats..

just take care of the rotation part.

[Erich Stevens]

Daniel,

Love this not only because you don't see this kind of image every day, but also because I can appreciate how difficult it must've been to get the head and splash in perfect focus. I agree with other crits. Super well done!

[Chris van Rooyen]

Strikingly unsual and really impressive! Agree on need for rotation

[David Fletcher]

No need to mention rotation, :), but fabulous splash, VWD!

[Daniel Belasco]

Thanks for the rotation.
Don't know what VWD means?
Anyone know why my thumbnail is black?

[Tony Whitehead]

VWD = "very well done" I think
Not sure about the no thumbnail. It is an issue at times with images not hosted on the BPN server. Looking at your post the link doesn't seem to specify a filename.jpg so possibly the program is unable to locate the image file to generate the thumbnail. Changing the format of the link may be an option to try. Alternatively a $20 membership of BPN would enable you to upload your images to the BPN server.

A very unique capture, probably due to the shape of the water splash. This angle captured the moment beautifully. All nits have been covered. Congrats!
