Like all the water beads. Eye could use a bit of dodging, IMO; it's very hard to see any expression there.

A little catchlight in the eye would help lift this image. There appears to be a faint one there, so I would look to boost/brighten that in post processing. Especially in advanced editing. I'd probably also heal out the couple of distracting drips under the neck.
