Hi David,

Love the pose, light and details. The horizon needs to be fix. The reflection is a very nice plus.

pleasing image and willet nicely positioned David.
A bit of CW rotation would be in order I believe

Great technique with reflections here:

Rotation mentioned, and I would also add that a catchlight would have been good too. A couple of faint dust spots to clean up, plus the blotch (water drop?) between the chin and ripples. Very nice subject.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, that is a water drop and there is catchlight quite visible at full resolution. After the resize, it's difficult to see (at the top of the eye).
