A very sweet image, Peter.  Beautiful job on the whites and a lovely reflection.

Nice job on the whites Mike. I also like the reflection a lot in this. That calm water really helps that reflection pop. Two things...because you shot this at -2/3 and increased your ss, the water seems a bit underexposed. I would suggest bringing up the shadows in LR or selective adjustments on the water in PS. Also, if you do that, some of the water imperfections will show more, so I would also clean them up using a spot remover.

Well-chosen composition, and I think I like the 'dark' water..  Well done, cheers, Hans

Very nice reflection shot.  Well exposed, with a good pose and color.  My only suggestion would be to clean up the small imperfections in the water, but that is really up to you.
