Nice one -water droplets are great, as are the waves. You've controlled the exposure well. I'd be inclined to put back the missing 10% if it is available top.

Or you could do a modest stretch of a top selection. I agree with Ian.

really excellent pose, nice light and the low angle works too, composition sits alright to my eye though more on top certainly wouldn't hurt

A nice shot Dave. A little more room on top for me too, but still works well.

A bit on top would add to what is already a smart shot.
