This young Teal came in at a slight angle across the frame, so when processing, I deciced to straighten the landing, as it 'looked better' When we have good reflections, we normally line up the bill tips or eyes for proper rotation. This image is the staightened one, and the next image is the reflection lined up. Which one do you feel is the 'correct' image? Taken at my local pond last saturday.

Here is the reflection lined up.
Stuart,
I love the great splash captured, the action is superb
i like the Straight first version , just feels nice on the eye to me. Interesting crop size and i just love the foot top of the water thats creating most of the splash :S3:
Too close to call. But if I had to choose, the first one, but only by a hair.

nice action shot Stuart,like the reflection,and the raised foot,second image for me Stuart.
Lovely action shot Stuart - I like the first one... and don't mention the rugby:Whoa!:
Cheers, Greg
Great shot, nice choice of wide frame...#1 my preference
Stuart:
I slightly prefer #2, a little more dynamic because of the slight diagonal, but close.
Cheers

I prefer #2. The angle of the splash gives it a more dynamic feel to me.
Nice pano crop and splashing action. I prefer #2.
I vote no2. Lovely pano and water splash.
Second image for me.

Thanks a stack for all the feedback. I guess one needs to stick to the original of lining up the reflection.
Image #2 for me!
Love the panorama crop and the calm water with the great reflection

Cool shot Stuart. #1 for me. Even though its not lined up it looks more level to me. TFS
The second image does it for me, somehow it appears more natural.
Great light and great action. Enjoy and prefer the second image....more spacious comp, and I prefer reflections to line up, particularly quality reflections like this. Excellent image sir.
