I was photographing dolphins in an aquarium (this is shot through a window into the tank), and had some trouble focusing. I realised that an out-of-focus shot of the water and shadows might make an interesting effect... and I think it did!

Captures the movement well, and the face is still sharp. I like the high contrast.

Would you prefer it to be even more graphical, or would you like less

contrast?

Very nice. The bird makes the picture, as I see it... it adds some tension.

What bothers me is the grain, which is very apparent even at this small magnification. Underexposure, perhaps?

I don't know if I'm commenting on a photograph or an image, if you see what I mean. It's a very powerful image, so I'll give it high marks.
