Commical shot.. If I were to improve, I'll change the ratio to perhaps a 6"x3" to get a long feel.. more focus on the birds..
Great stock quality..

REALLY great bokeh and cool composition, as I'm sure you know. Love the soft/hard texture feel between left and right. Personally would have preferred a bit more luminosity, perhaps brighter highlights, to give more of a "pop" effect, though it could be said that the less bright background blends well with the shadow side of the rope. Nicely abstract.

Comment by Louis:
Nice. Richly saturated, a neat perspective, a real sense of the ride, made better by the clouds in the background. I like the vertical thrust offered by the supports, and the feeling it gives the whole image.

I like this entry, and I'm a big fan of saturated blues, so this works well for me. There's a real sense of movement helped by the effluence beneath the dolphin, and its placement in frame is very satisfying. The grain detracts slightly, but overall well done. I must say I really like the alternative. There were similar in recent challenges, but that one's well composed and very interesting.

Nicely seen. I like the high contrast conversion. It really makes the shot about all the lines and shapes. Very interesting to look at. An 8 from me.
