The on camera flash is not flattering in this photograph. Specifically because you have a wall directly behind the subject, upon which a harsh shadow is cast. Add to that an uninteresting angle and you have the makings of a photograph that doesn't score very well.
The thing you have going for you, is the fact that this image is on theme and it's rather sharp.
I'm giving you a 3 for this image.
Suggestions for improvement:
>Using an on camera flash is ok, but try to be aware of your backgrounds. Get as far away from walls or anything that the subject can cast a shadow on. You also want to be aware of anything that could stand out in the background, lights, objects...anything that can draw attention from your subject.
>Try shooting from different angles, try getting lower and maybe more in front of the subject...shooting up towards the face with the water closer to the camera. Ideally (in my opinion), shooting in portrait format while having the water prominently featured in the lower left hand corner and the face in the upper right hand corner would make for a very interesting composition.
I hope this helps,
