Well... we went to Seaworld this weekend and I thought this photo captured an exiting moment.
"Free Willy" was too obvious, and I'm a huge David Lynch fan...

the background kills the feeling of the photo

I would have expected "Free Willy."

Free Willie?

It's rather Free Willy :) Great movement capture.

I wish the whole whale was in there. Also, I wonder how this would look it you rotated the image counter clockwise until the line of the wall was level. My favorite part of your photo is the splash coming off the tail.

nice action shot. i'm not a big fan of these training shows, as i know how the animals have way too little space in the aquaria, but since this is a photography site and not greenpeace.com i'm trying not to take that fact into account when figuring out your score ;)
the whale/dolphin(?) seems blurry, but imo that adds to the motion and "wildness" of the shot. the man in the bottom right corner adds a nice touch and sets off the picture. i think this could have been much more powerful in b&w.
