Just great, ove the pose, the eye contact, the exposure and the water drops! Big congratulatons!

Ps: Probably not for web use but for print I would go with a wider crop if not the full frame version Akos.

Great timing with excellent exposure and pose. Beautiful eye contact and the water droplets put it over the top for me. Congratulations on a fine image and many thanks for sharing Akos.

I like the pose and exposure control - the water droplets are a stand-out.
