Nice image. The only thing I would do would be to sharpen the "meal."

That is a pretty sizable meal. I like the sharpness, angle and eye contact but find the dark lines in the water a bit distracting. If it were mine I would remove the sheen on the bill and desaturate the reds a few points. Maybe a slight crop off the top?

You did the best you could despite the strong light. You could tone down the lighter areas, and I agree with Axel about crop from above...just enough to hide the light strip in URC. I like the splashing around the foot and the meal too.

I like the confidence shown here with the prize. Agree with Daniel on burning it down some.
