Hi Don, i like this one. The movement and framinh are pleasing, but to me it lacks brightness on the margins.. Pherhaps throwing a bit of fill ligh would boost the scene.
In my persinal opinio don, the repost works way better.. I really like it. As there s no vignetting the image looks more uniform and the difference between the gold/neutral tone of the water om the original image fades!
I love the shape of the swirl leading in from the left, coming down and then up into the lighter area. I'd lose the bubbles on the lower edge and maybe the one below the swirl.
I don't mind the darker OP but could go either way, or halfway between. In the OP there is a quality that makes it almost OOTB, in a very good way. It's reminiscent of a glass sculpture by Chihuly. That might be enhanced even more with a High Pass "sharpening."
Would love to see more!!

2nd repost, cropped a little tighter from bottom and LHS. Bubbles removed and a little HP sharpening applied. Also backed off the vignette a little. An improvement I think, cleaner in the FG, a little more detail in the curl...
little wave..
