PP in Lightroom. I added some additional canvas to the left and bottom in PS. The reflection was edited to complete the bill and top of the head.

EDIT: Sorry folks, not sure why I am not showing a thumbnail for the image.

Nice sharp vertical portrait, David, good eye contact. Nice BG and I really love the blue FG. The head and bill reflections seem just a tad too strong to me, considering what appears to be a somewhat roughened blue FG surface. Maybe you could reduce the opacity on that layer. Was the FG water? Congrats!

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, the foreground is a puddle on the beach reflecting the sky. I actually did not enhance the reflection at all, with the exception of what I mentioned in the original post, so it is natural.
Now, if I could just figure out why I don't have a thumbnail. :)
Cheers!
