Now that's a dramatic shot Jeroen - nice balance of water movement and still subject; it certainly does portray a different feeling than the reality.. :wavey:

Wow! Thats a cracker!!!

If this is full-frame and you have enough pixels to do a crop of just the gaping mouth and the eye - that would be a killer!

Nice drama, even if it's play. Moving water always helps make a picture too.
Wonderful picture outside of the Donna Nook picture norm :smile:

(assuming it was at Donna Nook?)

Lovely action shot Jeroen. Love the upward water movement with the open jaws of the seal. Terrific. :wavey: :jump:
