Cool capture and cool title. Could you lighten the eye area a touch? Maybe a bit more USM? And is the water on a slant or is it just the effect of the waves - I have always have difficulty deciding.

What an unusual shot. Very nice! However I do agree with Jim’s comments about the lightening the eye and increasing the USM.

With regards to whether the image is slanting or it’s just the waves, I personally think it’s the waves but I wouldn’t bet on it though.
