Wow , this is a winner for me. Great composition, nice color contrast and reflection, the slight blurring of motions from the back created a selective focusing to your main subject. Great photo!

I bet we see this again. I love it. The colors are magnificent. The "pose" is simply marvelous. The reflection and perspective are right on!! It just all works so very well together. BRAVO!!

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments. Nandu, Yes I did use Photoshop CS to boost color & contrast, to as a little sharpening, to clone out an unwanted leg, and to alter the white balance that is a little too blue.
Here's the not-nearly-as-eye-catching original.
