Love it and what a great reflection. Bill could be a little farther away from the leg.Not much you could do. I am not sure if that is noise showing on the lower breast in the whites. TFS

[Ivan Sjogren]

This one doesn't really work for me unfortunately... I don't mind the grey colors and the flat light but the composition does not excite me despite the reflection. Furthermore the head is not sharp and you got a bad head angle even if it is quite nice with some interaction against the reflection.
I would also always recommend a low shooting angle in these situations but that depends on what images you are after of course, you might have been going for something more artistic which I apppreciate.

[Bill Dix]

I rather like the somewhat dynamic pose -- not your standard Yellowlegs shot. The POV is what it is. Just before taking this shot, you bemoaned the fact that there were no openings at floor level in the wall of the blind. Next time we'll take a saw.

[John Mack]

Great ripples and the reflection. Nice and sharp.

Thanks Kevin, Ivan, Bill, and John.
