This is a compelling capture and with interesting and absorbing movement. I want to see more of this creature though and suspect from the noise that this might be a very tight crop of a larger original? it also lacks a focal point somehwere my eye is drawn. Naturally this might be the head but when I get there (being drawn by the arrow-shaped wake) I see a blurry shape underwater. 6

Nice colors and "feel" to the water - the ripples are a treat.

good capture, I like this but taking the noise out with Neat Image or the like would have improved it quite a bit

The water surface seems a little grainy. Maybe too much processing.
