Yes - good photo Chris.
I find the reflection a bit confusing though.
I would have cropped it out.

The reflection is interesting, but I would fade in a slight soft effect to it.
The problem I see is that there are few details in the white parts as the highlights are blown. I wonder if you could pull them back a bit by tweaking the exposure curve slightly?

As you use Lightroom, you can probably bring back some detail in the highlights by adjusting the highlights slider in the exposure pane.

Looks pretty good to me. I'm not too concerned about the blown out highlights... but, in Lightroom (or Adobe Camera RAW) in Photoshop, it's very easy to pull or push exposure values using a number of different sliders. I would encourage you to experiment with them.
I do think I would have chosen a bit higher ISO value so as to not need to use such a slow shutter speed. As good as the photo looks, when you enlarge it, camera shake manages to sneak in. The women in the background are also a bit of a distraction. I would try to isolate the subject and apply some background blur to deal with that.
But, yeah... looks pretty nice. Oh, and I'm impressed with how nice the Z6 renders noise. It almost has a bokeh quality to it (if that makes any sense! LOL)

Don’t know if they’re roots coming down a cliff face or branches climbing up it but here they are!
iPhone SE3 & Snapseed
Looks like an exposed root system, like from an upturned tree or landslide, etc.. Pretty cool photo.
I'm still waffling on whether to get an SE3 or iPhone 13 mini to replace my aging, first generation iPhone SE. I like the new cameras on the iPhone 14 but, man... those things are big. I know, big is what almost everyone wants... but it's getting to where you might as well carry an iPad around with you. I prefer something slightly smaller.

A mural by Charlie Granberg from me this week.
This one is Pelle No-Tail and his sweetheart, Maya Cream-nose. (In Swedish, Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos).
It is inspired by the childrens' books by Gösta Knutsson that were published between 1939 and 1972. If you have seen the animated films from the 80-s, you know Pelle as Peter No-Tail. He kept his name in the translations of the books, though.
Model: NIKON D700
Lens: Ai Nikkor 50/1.2
Lens (mm): 50
ISO: 200
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter: 1/125
Exp. Comp.: -1.0

Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F1.0, wide-open on the M9. 1/60th sec, ISO2500. Main lights turned off, Disco Lights only for lighting. Manual Focus using the rangefinder, "Subject did not stay still", was skating at a fairly fast pace. I was shooting Nikon rangefinders long before Leica. If Nikon ever brought out a Digital S-Mount rangefinder, I'd buy it immediately. I have a lot of S-Mount lenses. I ended up buy a full set of Nikon lenses in Leica mount.
