Totally inspired by Alex Koloskov and his site, Mastering Splash. Any deficiencies, however, are all mine. 
Good luck everyone.

its an absolutely stunning capture of the water...but, the hands look too soft to me not focus wise, but not rough enough.
Maybe a little scratched up and dirty, more wrinkled or worn, would help to give more of a sense of back story and add another dimension to the concept of breaking through and overcoming adversity.
Just my 2 cents though, I sure can not capture a shot like that with my gear and/or skill set!
EDIT: Also, what if there was something reflected in the water, semi-transparently so that the arm was still visible, but a shadow of what was ahead was visible as well? Maybe ridiculous, I dont know.

Thanks everyone. Hand belongs to a fifteen year old friend of my son, so not many lines or wrinkles. He had no problem punching the water for me though.
Thanks for all the looks and comments.

Very cool shot Steve. Did you shoot through an something like an aquarium? Thanks for listing Alex Koloskov's Mastering Splash website. Interesting and informative. I see Dave Nitsche has his photos and tutorials on the site too. I remember Dave's fantastic photos that he posted in this forum too. ~Jamie

Thanks guys. Yep, through an aquarium, flashes on either side. Norm, not quite unique - I got the idea from a similar shot on Alex Koloskov's site. I thought it would be perfect for the theme.
