Congrats on your best scoring photograph to date. I like your choice of subjects here and your composition is terrific. This one fits the challenge very well, but its almost hard to recognize. While the focus is very crisp and the exposure is on, the animal moving through the water creates a distortion that would be very hard to overcome. This one would have gotten a 5 or 6 from me, so I think that it finished well. I think that this photo is about as good as it could be considering what you were working with. Nature isn't very easy to script, at least not when I try to do it. Nice work, and I'm sure that your scores will continue to climb.
lol, i couldn't figure out if it was whale but i realized it was a dolphin, silly me!i like it, nice focus, the water doesn't blur but shimmers and i nocticed that you made the bubbles nice and clear, i like it, 10
