I was quite happy to get this photo of a dolphin jumping. I have tried many times to take a respectable photo of a dolphin on our sailing trips, but most of the time they are under water or my timing is out.

This is an absolutely fantastic capture. Right time and right place, with the right timing. This is a classic case of using the camera to cature something the eye could never quiet see. You you have caught the arc of the dolphin perfectly. Your crop is well balanced. My only complaint with the asthetics is that you have over-sharpened the water - I think it looks a little too unnatural.
So, if it is so good why have you scored below 5. Well, many of the voters feel that you did not meet the challenge. If you want to do well on DPC it is essential to convince the voters that you have taken the challenge topic into account. I am confident that if ou had submitted this shot into more appropriate challeneg you would have got around 6.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
This is a beautiful photo! But Im not sure where the black and white enters into it. This challenge seemed a bit nebulous. I see there were many interpretations.
