Hi Dale from the Critique Club!
I love the colours and lighting in your image, very rich and seductive. I usually like a shallow DOF but I don't feel it works well in this picture, the point (excuse the pun ;) ) of focus is at the very edge of the frame and my eye spends most of it's time elsewhere and there's nothing comfortable to rest my eyes on. The double reflection makes me feel a bit funny too, as though I'm going cross-eyed. A cleaner reflection, a larger DOF and a different placement of point of focus might turn this from a good image into a stunning one!

I hope that doesn't sound too negative, I really enjoyed spending time with your image :)

Wow, great colors... almost like a commercial/product shot. Good use of DOF as well. I do think the multiple layered reflections distract on this however.

I once kill a troll with an arrow!

Good idea but the reflections of the arrow distract too much and DoF could be more.
