Comments welcome!

Really cool image Bob! I love the glow and the flood. I might evict the slight horizon line between the two hands as I really like how the right side water line fades to black. Very creative and well executed!

I love this, Bob! Very cool effect. Great OOTB thinking.

As above very cool image, creative and well done

Bob, this is very creative. The glow and flood work so well with the image. I'd be tempted to take just a tad off the top.:S3:

Very well done! All the elements come together perfectly.

I really like this, Bob. It's very compelling and wonderfully creative. It's also a perfect application for Flood. I agree with Cheryl about cropping some from the top. Because the hands and forearm are so important, I'd be inclined to both blur and tone down the reflection a bit -- probably with a mask that gradually reduces the effects from the bottom to the water line.

Thanks everyone for the comments and good suggestions!
