Tight crop because the only water area where there isn't glass there's foliage, railings, etc.

Edited to sharpen the eye as suggested, thanks guys :)

Aha! Much better edit this time ;) The eyes definitely give it life ;)

I have to also agree about the eye, and not because of peer pressure this time, but because that is the first place my eye landed. The crop is interesting in a good way. I get a view of this animal in a different way. The blown highlight between the ears is a tad distracting, though.

I really like the way the colors of the water complement the colors of the skin; very smooth and vibrant in a way. I didn't notice the eyes until I read these comments, but now I see it and I agree.

Nice close shot to demonstrate the textures. I agree with Rikki though - the eye needs to be sharper. Otherwise nice image!

The sharpness is definitely there in the skin yet it's missing in the most important area. The eyes. I wish there was a way where you can selectively sharpen the eyes without ruining this very nicely captured image.
