C&C welcome
Very interesting and well done. I think the salmon could do with a little more work but what intrigues me is how you got the water to "splash". I assume its an imported mesh but how did you make it in the first place? Realflow? or am I completely wrong ind its all photoshop painted on?
Keep up the good work.

It's all an illusion Richard! Just water roughness/reflection settings and lighting. I'll post the settings if you want?
Pretty good, Kevin. Need foam...

Version with foam being rendered at the moment. Different (better) POV as well.
Here's a different perspective on this topic.
C&C welcome.
I like the water action. Two suggestions - Up your Soft Clip Effect to 1.5 to 2 (for the objects) and either up the quality of the foam or get an easier perspective for the foam. The reasoning - this close doesn't look realistic, but not having tried this I don't know what you're up against.

Yeah, the quality can go a lot higher - it was only set to AA3, Detail .475, GI 1,1. to get an over night render (7hrs)
I'll change the POV and a few other things and re render.
What will the Soft clip changes do?
Thanks for you input.
I read where Matt spoke about this Soft Clip effect helping objects, even though he was talking about trees. I'll see if I can find what he said and post it here.
