Little bit of a thanks to Mike Wallitner his nose, and his inability to inhale water through said nose.
Taken outside against his blue house, cloned, healed, and blurred out the wood paneling and the roof awning then changed the color.
Used Virtual Photographer to soften and add warmth.
Added a color layer with a very subtle opacity to bring out the blue eyes.
Wasn't sure if I could use the pattern overlay, so I chose to play it safe, but I originally had a blue background with a bubble pattern. It was kind of corny, but it fit.
Really don't know how well this is gonna do, but I'm hoping for >5.8512 to beat my previous high score.

nice clean lines here, but I may have cropped out more and concentrate on the lines of and in the mask as that is where the interest lies. The top of the snorkel is not that interesting and leads the eye away from the center of interest.
