Nicely done b&w; love the contrast of texture and smoothness.

Very cool. But what really makes this awesome is the spray of water from the foot.

Wonderful tonal range and contrast throughout the entire image. Exposed perfectly to get the texture in the foreground. There's a bit of an optical illusion at about 5:30 that initially looked like a drop on the lens. It's obviously a motion-blurred bit, but it would bug me if I had this hanging on my wall. And it's at that caliber. Fantastic photo.
