Hi Bryan,
WOW- what timing !! I love that you have not cropped too much out. Nicely composed and great action shot. I imagine this was quite a sight to witness. TFS Julie

Hi bryan

A good decisive moment shot, capturing the leaping salmon. I'd be tempted to crop much tighter, so that there's more fish, and less water. Tfs!

Hi Bryan,I think your cropping is very suitable.It shows the forces the salmon is up against.One can take this shot as a metaphor of life also.All the best Otto.

We get these (and Sea trout) up the Esk here too.
I've tried to catch them on camera especially at one point they have to swim across a road at a ford and it's often only just deep enough!
They are so fast it's very hard to get a decent shot like you hope for.

you really use a much longer lens and a tripod for a shot like this Considering its handheld its pretty good TFS
warm regards
David
