Yep, I know the lighting is harsh but I only had one chance to take photos this week and it happened to be about 1 hour before the challenge deadline, which in this part of the world is afternoon - So I took 3 photos, two of which were blury. this one at least was pretty sharp.
this just proves how important lighting is in photography. If this was taken a few hours later with some nice gentle light it would have scored pretty well.

Little more work with the light and darkness would help this. The face is blown out a bit, more contrast would help too, then maybe a little more saturation to bring out the water a tad.
