My first impression is that this is very dangerous because what happens if the camera gets wet. Nice image. Color seems a little off because normally we tend to think that shower walls are white. But the case could be different for you. I like the focus and composition. My attention immediately goes to your eyes and that is where you want someone to start IMO. The water also has a nice motion blur to it although a little lost in the shower wall at first. The DOF I think is a little off and your elbow takes away from the photo. I would say either make the DOF so that the elbow was in focus or crop it out. I think cropping it would hurt it more so my opinion is to try again and put everthing in focus.

One thing I love about SPs is their sometimes brutal honesty and the way they often tend to have a sense of humor about them at the same time.

I like this shot my only niggle is the elbow in the front of the shot very distracting and draws attention away from your nice face!

Blue toning works well, direct eye contact is very striking... Nice one.

The drop off of the chin bothers me a bit, but I love the colors, and the feeling of intensity.
