Nice low angle here Jay, do you possibly have a shot a fraction later with a view of one of the feet in a clearer walking pose?

I might be tempted to lose some off the reflection as having it cut off isn't ideal, and replacing it with more negative space above if you have it.

I do like the framing horizontally with the ripples though.

Nice work

Very nice.
Terrific POV and I like the BG shoreline a lot.
Looks like a cloudy day so I am wondering if you added the catch light.
I would smooth out the vertical OOF grass that intersects with the bill.
You could crop a bit off the bottom but you need to leave room for the virtual legs so I think I would leave it as is,

How's this for a rework?
