Nice stop-action on the water dripping off of the tail, and I like the slightly different angle than the typical shot from behind. My only suggestion would be the shining water still on the tail, it seems overly bright, perhaps bringing it down a bit would bring out details and better allow the wonderful colors and textures of the ocean and tail to show better.

I like the stop action of cascading water. I would suggest that if this is a crop, to add a bit of space on the left side...or perhaps just slightly all around.

Brad, the photo was taken around 12PM and I had to leave the in the shinning water on the tail , to get more the details in.

Lon, that all the space there is on the left side of the frame.

The water flowing from all over the tail makes the shot.
Too bad there was not some more space to use around
