Mammals Swimming in Natural Bodies of Water

A magical photo, giving the viewer a look into the sea as if the wave is a window. It is allmost a graphic image because of the clear division in three layers. Maybe the image can look even stronger by cropping the underside a bit more but it's a great shot anyway, well done.

A very happy and powerful image. The moment I saw it, it drew a big smile on my face. Just a fraction of the sea lion is visible but the image is very clear. The sharpness is amazing considering the difficult moment you decided to take the photo. A fantastic shot.

I was hoping for a shot of this amazing phenomenom in this contest. You can feel the stress of crossing the river in one piece. The big jump of the central wildebeast finishes the adrenaline filled shot very well. The diagonal line in the image enhances the feeling of speed and direction wonderfully.

Congratulations on winning my Contest. An exciting image with a different view on the ocean, the view a swimmer has. The speed is well shown by the bubbles and the elegant way the sea lion passes you. The moment is crucial and very well taken, the light is also great and adds to the beauty of the sea lion, showing lots of detail. Great work.

An outstanding dog-in-the-sea shot. The low angle is beautiful and the central position of the dog works very well here. The upcoming wave in the background finishes the composition very well. Beautiful sharpness and vivid colours make for a wonderful image, fit for big copy on your wall..
