Well done, Sandy. The reflection and BG are a nice plus.

Nice one, Sandy. I love the way the eye pops. It's also neat to be able to see the feet under the water.

Excellent detail and I don't doubt the existing lighting conditions were problematic. There's plenty of food for thought in this shot. It looks as if the scene ran out of reflective water in the bottom right-hand corner - perhaps it needs some judicious cloning from the left-hand corner.
