Nice Dan.

Beautiful low POV, and as much as I like perfect reflection, this one holds the right amount of detail to look natural. One thing (rightly) often mentioned here is head angle being a couple of degrees towards the camera, but this one works for me as the HA gives it a slightly moody feel - a bit like an old classic B&W portrait does.

Just something about the frame that held my attention for a bit longer than normal

Very nice Dan! I love the reflection.
Great low POV and I love the green water.
Your title is really good and makes the HA OK for me!

Lovely water and moody pose. HA is ok by me (but then, I'm not a member of the HAP). Looks almost like Jamaica Bay, but I suspect it's from some point further west.

Nice reflection with nice color in the water. Composition is spot on.
