Took me a second, almost thought it was a cats face for a second until I noticed the hand.

Ha! Awesome capture!
One must've seen such balloon explosion shots before to make out that this is one I think, since the tell-tale sign of contracting balloon rubber is missing.
Leaving that hand in the pic is a nice touch...

Really nice photo, although I can't work out what's happening exactly, is the dart being thrown through a water balloon? Looks like a tree on a hill in the background to me.

At first I thought it was a giant, distorted kitty muzzle. Then I saw the hand. Then I saw the dart. And it finally all made sense.

The splash makes almost a lip-like shape.

It took me a minute to understand exactly what was going on in this image, but before I figured it out, the title gave a great atmosphere for the abstract nature of the image. Cool capture.
