This doesn't look right for some reason, the shark doesn't seem to be causing any reaction in the water. 4

Your lighting is off. Good idea though.

Nice enough but the stupid element is missing - it's only in the title

Interesting photo - the shark looks like it is above the water. Is that a trick of the light, or is a shark really jumping? Very pretty water effect.

Very beautiful picture... too bad it doesn't fit that much with the challenge...

Looks too overprocessed and unreal for my liking, plus the element of stupidity / danger is lacking because you can't actually see a person in the frame.
