| I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have given it an 11. Represents so many things I enjoy- fishing, water, the outdoors and photography. And it represents this so well. |

| I'd given this a 9. Loved this shot, especially how we can see the sheen on water on the fish and the reflective qualities. |

| Good capture, I can't really figure out the angle of the shot/fish/water? but that's cool, the composition is good and it nicely balanced. |

| This is terrific! So unusual yet identifiable perspective. The almost monotone coloration is immensely appealing. |

| Fantastic. I'm a sucker for cool fish shots in general, but this is extraordinary. I would have probably processed it a bit differently, but no matter, it's still wonderful. Hey, I just stumbled across this bad boy on 1x! Looks awesome in large. :) |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave commentary. Holy moly what a great action shot of this fish leaping up into the waters!!!! I get the idea that this is some form of salmon or other type of fish that swims upstream against the current. That is why I say it is leaping up into the waters above. Great capture of the water splashes and the detail in the fin, tail and scales is wonderful. Love the action going on in this shot. One doesn't always have control of the elements but it would certainly catapult this great shot into the exceptionally good category if you lucked out and caught the head and eye showing. It is still a wonderful shot though, great job! |

| Nice and bright jumping salmon with a very nice wet view. |

| Excellent capture of a tough subject. I've tried this once before and I'm keen to do it again. Looks like you had good light, so you were able to attain a deep DOF which is useful when you don't know where they'll jump. Would have been nice to see the eyes though. |

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1116 images, I gave 97 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 97, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.
This is a great action shot, and of a subject I figure is hard to predict. I'd have scored it higher if the fish was facing towards the camera, but I guess even if you asked him nicely, he was probably in too much of a hurry :-)
Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge. |

| There is something so incredibly compelling about this shot. Maybe the desaturated colors, the incredible detail on the water and fish, or the perspective. Fab, a fave. |

| maybe next time position the fish the other way so we can see its head, or wait for a grizzly bears paw to swipe at it. (totally kidding!) this is a really great capture, good timing and wonderful clarity. 10 |

Wonderful capture.
Some more contrast and sharpness may have been the ticket. |

| I am not sure what angle I should be looking at. Did you shoot the fish from above, or from the side? |
