When I saw the thumbnail for this I knew it was yours, your style is so distinct. Good work, a shot like this shouldn't be buried so far down in the pack.
Great job on the post-processing.
I like the two-part focal point, first to the spigot & drops, then shifting to the face, the attention flows as well as the water does here. Well done!
i dont see how the border helps this photo. it doesnt detract from it, really...but it doesnt add anything, IMO. its like an appendix. i have one, but it doesnt really do anything :-P
