Nice. I like the different shades of blue and the textures. Nice capture of the shadows in the water.

I love that green quality of the water, it's just so unique. The way it reflects the blue sky in the background but is see-through and shows the play of light in the foreground, closer to the bottom, makes the shot incredibly dynamic. I also love the stretched shadows of you and your daughter, they almost seem like stylized or stick figures. Great composition and balance with the shadows placed off-center. There is one thing bugging me a bit though: the patch of bright green reflection at the right edge is breaking the continuity and rhythms of the little waves and light shadows. Maybe cropping off the right edge by at least two centimeters would help. Otherwise really a wonderful shot, I like its simplicity. Glad to see you had a good time in the U.S. ;)
