My attempt at Oliver's Reprise of his version of Irene's
I even wrote h2 in the water drops.
Oliver is a master at studio lighting and I was trying to get something close without a softbox.

I originall was planning on flipping the image horizontally to match Oliver's and use the border he did, but realized that when he did the h2 was reversed, and the drops just looked like over enthusiastic dribbling. In retrospect, the drops don't read well enough to make saving them worth the lack of similarity of the the original 2 shots.
the h2 was way too under the radar.

Very well done in terms of lighting and overall mood, could just be a tad brighter.
Missing border might be a matter of taste, but I wonder why you flipped the subject?
Also looks like you used a bit much denoising.
