    I like the soft light, angle, sharpness, water color and eye contact. Does it need a tad CW rotation? I might crop a bit off the bottom.

    You have exposed the colours nicely. This is sharp, and I agree with Axel regarding a rotation. In addition, I would take a bit off the bottom, and add a bit more to the RHS.

    I also love the painted effect. It would be nice if the whole reflection was showing at the bottom, otherwise crop some more off as has been said.
    cheers

    Terrific colors. I am fine with the bottom space you have now. The rotation needed is a very small amount. Great shot!

    This shot really takes my breath away. The colors are incredible. Great sharpness. Wonderful light. Only critique - maybe slightly more room to the right.
