Hi Arash, Beautiful light with a well handled exposure. I would prefer the white band in the backround not to be there but not that distracting. Would have liked a small amount more room on the bottom. Nice job overall...

Very nice, arash. Great lighting, interesting pose and I love the ripples in the water.

Hi Arash - lovely details and sharpness - like the pose and open eye - low shooting angle is good too.
Sweet light.
Comp just doesnt quite work for my own personal tastes - a little tight at the top maybe.

Hi Aresh! Nice exposure and love the ripples! It is a bit cramped top and bottom.

Hi Arash
Unusual pose but works because of good eye contact. Exposure and sharpeness is very good. the low angle is great. I find the highlights in the water in the BG a little distracting if your ethics allow consider removal. Agree w above w a little room above. Overall a great pic
