For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
It's a far better shot than appears here. The missing color and shadow detail tend to make it look under-exposed and muddy, cutting the impact considerably. It's best with a run through HDR plug-in to recover much more shadow detail, but it is still very much improved with just an increase of Gamma and slight Contrast. It's quite excellent and the expression is priceless and competition worthy.
Careful with your background. The brand of the items can be seen clearly. Maybe you can put that 'Dial' somewhere else. Agreed with snapshooter87, need to improve color and contrast and for addition, use some noise filter. Finally, the arrangement of the water dripping captured at the right moment! Good Job..
Love it. :o)
