I love the stop action in this, the super clean crisp focus is fantastic as well, very well done shot and the conversion is perfect! I agree with Jon, I would have expected this to place higher even in a freestudy...

Cant believe that this one did not score and finish higher even in a free study challenge

The main splash is wonderful and the focus works wonderfully with the bokeh. the railing is a great addition as well as it draws you into and then through the wave splash

B&W was also the perfect choice as it means you have no distractions to the moment of impact that you have captured so well

Makes me feel like I'm right there - great motion capture.

I can easily see why this would be a favorite of yours - it's got a "something" that pulls you in, makes you linger. And someone makes you think and wonder, too. This is one that I wanted to check after the challenge - very glad to see it's yours!

Wow, nice and sharp, lovely use of shutter speed. I'm a fan of well done mono shots like this :-)

The splash is cool, but it for some reason doesn't feel like the subject of the photo. And without it being the subject of the photo I don't know what is. I guess the splash alone doesn't hold my attention.

Good detail in the splach but the objects in the foreground have lost some detail and seem out of place.
