    Another beautiful image from that series. Exposure looks right on the money. Splashing water drops look great. Perhaps a little CW rotation is needed. Cheers.

    Nice clarity. Agree with the CW rotation. Seems to my eye that the splash line should be level not the BG shoreline.

    Beautiful lighting here Ken, with the water droplets a bonus.
    CW rotation easily fixed.

    Absolutely nailed Ken. I like the light and colours, and well done on capturing this in the frame, as these guys are pretty quick. Im going with Steve here to use the ripples to rotate this.

    Marvelous Image. Love the shimmering skin, the jump and the saturated colors. Overall a very pleasant image
