Tough to get a better mirror reflection than that! Super cool. Only thing I would do is revisit the colour of the water - even if naturally like this, the almost electric hue competes with the egret IMO. You can try a paler shade to see if that works, or simple desaturate it some to taste.

Unreal reflection...Water is borderline too blue, but probably realistic.
Nice frame.

Now that is how you capture a relfection. Nice light and detail. I don't mind the color of the water. Very nice.

Hi Dan, I checked the image I had added saturation to the blue. Not sure why, guess at the time I thought it needed saturation added. Here is the image without saturation.

Too bad it was so windy! Very beautiful.
