That must have been a huge rock. It is fascinating to see the shape of the water frozen in time like that.

cool capture- splashes are usually hard to get.
Good job.

Fast finger and you have nice capture. I love it.

I'm going to be the one here who's going to be hated. Was this taken with a cellphone? The quality is actually quite horrible. Your focal point is the splash based on the title of the picture, however it's completely out of focus along with most of the background. The only part in focus is the foreground, and that's not interesting at all. I did see your other photos and think you could have done much better.

I agree a bit on the fuzzy side but still a neat capture.

Comments and critics are to give good advice to the photographer for doing it better. I partly agree with
'naffle' but also find the pic interesting.

You are right Mac, I should have given advice on how to take a better photo for submission, but I can't tell you how to make your cellphone take a better picture and based on the pictures in the photographers gallery, they understand the concept of what Caedes wants in the ways of pictures being uploaded. Bottom line, it's not a place to share cellphone shapshots.

Hi Brandon, one thing you will learn pretty quick, for every opinion about a shot, someone else will have a different opinion. Eventually you have to know what YOU like and trust your own judgement and your own growing skills. Whatever tool you use to capture your images, cell phone, disposable camera, dslr or webcam, a great shot can be taken with any tool. If you look at many of the early masterpiece photographs, they were taken by cameras larger than your letterbox, that required long exposures to capture enough light on the glass film and had to be on a massive tripod. Our life is so much easier. He He. For future reference, using manual focus for this kind of shot, might work better. You manually focus on the water surface, so it's sharp, then you throw the rock into the water you've already got well focussed. Assuming you are using a digital camera, you can take twenty shots of the same thing, to get one that is perfect, then only work on the one good one, delete the rest. One of these days I'll get a decent shot of a splash pattern, hasn't happened yet, it's not so easy to do.
Mikel.
