Ordinary but great fast speed capture.

Wonderful capture. The tiny upturned rump and the arc of water droplets just make the picture. If I could vote on this challenge, I'd give you a 10;

The splash is great! I think a tighter crop might help to emphasize it more.

Great capture! I love the water droplets coming from the feet. Focus, color and composition are all just right.

shame the one who isn't splashing isn't head up; would have helped a very nice shot be even better

It is really fantastic.

Maybe the picture would improve if the animals fits more the picture. I am waiting for seeing the head over the waterline....

Nice stop-motion on the waterdrops, but unfortunately, that seems to be the only thing going on.

Very cute, nice action. Seems a bit underexposed, and the cygnet on the right's head is completely obscured by the splash. Or is it under water?

Not much to add, really.

Has a impression of being over-sharpened, as though to negate the effects of slightly too slow an exposure, but the freezing of the water in motion suggests otherwise - perhaps too tight a crop on a small image, or something similar? Lacks the immediate sharpness of a real pop image, although its a great moment to capture for all that.

Oh, this is good! If it doesn't ribbon it's only because it could stand a bit of cropping to center attention even closer on those cavorting ducks/swans! 10

Fabulous moment! Now if only you'd have cropped it a little closer, getting rid of the distractions on the far right and upper left corner, it'd be a 10

A wonderfully whimsical image, but my interpretation of the contest was to go someplace you've never been to photograph a subject you've never photographed. This is more a picture of something that's new (a baby animal). I have a feeling you've been to this place before, and photograhed this subject matter before.
