I love the detail, the catchlight in her eye, and the pose. The lighting looks great here, and I really like the reflection in the water! Beautiful picture!

I love how wet she looks. This is wonderfully sharp and clear, with great light.

Nice eye contact and low angle Robert. I think the relatively tight comp works well.

Wonderfully sharp and detailed image Robert, I particularly like the eye, the water droplets on the subject's back as well as the reflection and low angle you shot this from :^)

Kind regards,

Ashley

I like the water dredged look of the duck and the eye contact is great. Wonderful light and composition looks good, way to go.
