A very nice transition from last month's theme to this one. The beautiful spoonie stands out very well against the dark background. Good exposure and detail. Great color AND reflection. I suggest some CCW rotation to get the bird's eye to align vertically with its reflection. This is very similar to the conditions we had early one morning at Merritt Island NWR.

What a killer image. Just love that pose and the pink/white against that black BG. You do need some rotation here. All you have to do as Bill mentioned is line up your eye with its reflection, or some other part of the bird, and you'll have a straight horizon.

Very nice light and color on the bird love the dark background.

Nicely done Stuart, The spoon look great with the dark background and nice reflection.

A very striking image - grabs the attention like very few can. It looks like you had superb light
