Challenge: Stopped Motion II (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Shin Falls, Scotland

ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/1000

Date Uploaded: Sep 19, 2004

 Shot at Shin Falls, Scotland, this salmon had been trying to jump a huge waterfall in vain for what must have been hours.

Apparently, after a failed jump, the salmon prepare for the jump for hours afterwards and will have to return the next year if they don't make it to the breeding waters at the top.

Crop off the right half and you have a great photo with a nice abstract quality.

Although this is a good capture IMHO it suffers from to much USM. I'm sure it was a tough shot.

Great shot. The water looks like it is coming straight out at me.

Who stole your bear? This is great - don't recall seeing one bearless for quite some time. The stop action is perfect, composition superb. The only problem is the oof rocks in the lower right, but you can't have both a super-fast shutter and a stopped-down lens. Exposure on the white water is tough, but you handled it very well - keeping the salmon's colors. Overall - top 10 in my opinion.

Great shot! Pity you couldn't zoom in closer. I find the foreground on the right a bit distracting. Good shot though.

Very cool capture. I wish the subject filled a bit more of the frame, but the photo still came out great. Nice job.
