nice idea. I think it would have come out nicer if you had been closer to the chalk line and had some greater dof

I just snapped this in passing on the streets of Glasgow..

Is the water really that color, or is this color enhanced? It seems a bit too pink overall.

I had my white balance set on Auto. The original photo actually looked pink. I brought the reds and magentals down and the blues and cyans up. It was close to sunset so the pink sky may have added the extra color reflecting on the water. I will post the original in the SBS.

cute

I think here flash burns the white parts. That creates a very burned white zone in the middle of your picture that is, IMHO, a bit disturbing.
