Katmai Grizzly in harsh sunlight.
The bear came dashing out of the bushes, was fairly close, and I had no time to think. Processed with CS5 and Color Efex Pro.

C&C welcome!
The splash conveys a sense of the power of the bears. You handled the harsh light well and Ken is right, the detail is great. I too wish for a bit more room below but understand that speed with which these things sometimes happen doesn't always allow us the "perfect" shot.
Shreyas, nice drama and activity in this image, well done. I would also have liked more room at the bottom of the image but understand the constraints you were under.
I like the close-up feel here with the splashes. I agree a little more space below would've been nice. You could run a luminosity mask on the highlights to tone them down a bit and enhance detail.
