The water action just puts this over the top, especially the longer strand running down the body. It looks rather refreshing! I'm sure others agree in regards the the bill sheen, but for me on this particular image I find it OK as the bill was obviously wet - the sheen gives it that look of wetness.
Good look-back head angle. The face could go a bit brighter and the image could use a Hue-Sat boost as it looks a bit like Kodachrome 64.
