Nice action capture. The colors created by the light play with the muddy water are interesting. Do you have any more room on top? Well done.

Great light on the face and I really like the arc of water on the bottom.

The water splash has a lot of interesting color, patterns and texture.

I agree some room on top would be good.

I love the light. The action of the water splash makes the image. As others pointed out it's a little tight on top.

Front lighting and water splash arc are excellent,
agree on some more room on top and on the left if you have it Ken?

Great splash of mud and water and real nice light. Maybe a touch too much blue in the shadows?

Thanks to everybody for their comments.

Unfortunately I have no more room except on right, this was my first trip with 500mm, and in those days I underestimated my distance a lot.

Steve,

I see what you mean about the blues.
