"This is a very dramatic capture that tells a story! The scale gives a sense of how powerful the water is, and the cliffs on both sides provide context. I love that there’s an exciting story (with a happy ending) behind the image. One critique would be to use a slower shutter speed to blur the helicopter blades and provide a sense of motion." - Jessica Ambats
"Great capture, perfect timing! I love the composition with the jet in the lower right. Congrats on achieving this image at your first airshow." - Jessica Ambats
"Beautiful image that evokes drama and calmness at the same time." - Jessica Ambats
