Nice and simple. I feel that few adjustments can improve this image: cropped off the bottom as the partial reflection doesn't add IMO, added some canvas top and left to balance the composition and applied a slight CCW rotation. Also boosted colours a bit as it looks like you had some lovely light. Finally saved as sRGB as image doesn't look like sRGB on my computer with Internet Explorer which doesn't manage colour space. WDYT?
Beautiful shot, Mike. Ditto the catchlight. I like the comp in Ofer's repost, but the color boost is a little too much IMHO. Something odd about the reflection in the LR corner
Ofer, thanks for taking the time to repost. I like your composition. Not sure about the rotation. I went back and forth on that. Would be interested to hear what others think.
Color boost looks like a good idea but I think I might go for something more in between. Image in OP was converted to sRGB but forgot to tag it.
Thanks, Bill! I guess I was typing as you posted.
I think I see what you mean about the reflection. It is natural (no cloning on this image) but the water was a bit rippled which is probably what gave this effect.
Ofer as much as I like your repost I really like the soft colors of the op better and now that Bill has pointed it out Mike, what caused that strange rectangle in the lrc?

Mike, I must have been posting when you were, I see your explanation. Thanks
