Perfect title Dan, you certainly have made the most of this scene ...cant think of a thing I'd change, very contemplative.

nice display of ambiance I like flowers on the left, the tree in the BG is a bit distracting. green water is a plus. I don't see much fine details in the bird, perhaps due to small size here.

I like the amount of red leaves visible but the tree is really distracting. I would crop a bit more off the bottom and RHS to get rid of some of the tree and make the bird a bit bigger in the frame,

Nice scene and colors. I find the bird's head angle (looking slightly skyward?) detracting, and also find that the bird lacks details (IQ issue, or resizing issue?).

A very tranquil image. Love the colours and setting. Looks sharp to me. I'd be tempted to place the bird and reflection closer to the lower right corner, therefore I like Gail's suggestion.
