Really nice. Good to see other things at the pool. I like the subtle reflection. I wish the broken branch wasn't there in front of his nose. That may just be me though.
John this certainly is the best combination of sharpness, clarity and pleasing contrast you've posted here to date...
I'd have liked a slightly lower angle, since the reflection isn't that clear...
