    Wow, what a sweet image! Low angle is amazing with the low water on the sand and I can feel the steps with the water drops being frozen. On the top of it the light is sweet, exposure is perfect and you have a nice head angle and eye contact. Super photo and I wish it was mine.

    Love the light quality and sharpness. The splashes convey a nice sense of motion. I might clone out the bright white water droplet just above the sand in the BG. Well done!

    Droplets and splashes add motion and really make this image. Agree with Doug on that one bright spot. The eye really gets lost in the face, but not sure you chould change that.

    Really like the splash on the left side of the image, along with everything else of course! I agree that the eye looks "lost", but not sure what you can do about that (maybe a linear burn?). I might consider taking just a tad off the left and adding an extra bit to the right. Really like the pano crop of this though.

    Sweet light and action. The low angle helps a lot too.
