The dramatic lighting and striding pose are great. I do find the bright reflection at the bottom taking my eye out of the frame, maybe darken it a little?

One of my "Unicorns" David, when we get one individual in Costa Rica we get so happy (not even in the matting colors) it is a big event for all of us. Thanks for sharing such a great image.
