Hi Mike, lovely angled pose in soft light, and I do like how the FG water blends neatly into the BG water. As the reflection is not that strong, I would come up from the bottom.
Pose, colours, and light look great! So do the details, and the techs are the usual top notch. I would have flipped the camera for a vertical here as I find the comp cramped top and bottom. A dust bunny located near the rump could go...
Nice image Mike, i love the light here
details look nice, i may look at cleaning the water a bit to give the water a plain look in front of the bird.
the composition works with me
