Thanks for all the comments. I tried getting rid of the washed out area on the face (which is due to a shadow from a rock that is cropped out), but I couldn't get it to look natural.

I rotated the photo 180 degrees to make it look like the polar bear was coming through the water rather than just splashing in it.

negative AND upside-down! I gave this an 8. It is dynamic but most of all, it's scary!

took me a sec to realize this is underwater! Very well done, works well for this challenge, i might have given it a little more contrast. The light spot on the right side of the face is a little unfortunate though.

fearsome imagery and otherworldly also-6-alomst has sense of depth to it, more than normal

I get the impression that he's diving under the water, but I just can't tell. Too much of his face is lost, too.
