Nice blue waters. Head turn& angle could have been better. I somehow don't like the legs. They are a bit hot.

I like the mood and pretty bg water Might go a little brighter? Sure had some soft light, great shadow detail !!! Excellent !!!

Cool capture with a good composition but would love to have had a little more eye contact. Excellent detail in the blacks and well exposed Indranil. Thanks for sharing.

For what I can imagine, this one would've benn a great vertical shot including the reflection, light look good but a better head turn would've helped! Congratulations!

[Indranil Sircar]

Al, Judy, Ramon, Thanks for your feedback. Here is the vertical view with another image with a bit of head turn. I avoided the full reflection as it was not clean. Does this work?

[Ramon M. Casares]

It works for me, the head turn is much better and the reflection looks good enought! Congratulations!

Indranil, the repost is a much stronger image. The head turn is much better than the first post. I also like this composition. Your exposure control in both images was spot on,
