Very nice reflection from the still water, and your shooting angle helped give the nice reflection . I might consider a small crop from the top, to balance out the free space above the birds head and that of the reflection. I find that tends to really increase the impact of a good reflection, better symmetry.
The grebe needs to be rotated just a sliver clockwise, probably a degree or so.

Perfect mirror reflection, and the crop helps it. I was going to suggest a slight rotation to the OP, but I think you took care of that too. I'm curious; did you remove the second catchlight in the upper image and not in the reflection?

Hi Bill, thank you for viewing and commenting. Looking at the image I must have removed a second catch light. I am going to fix that and repost. Great eyes you have, thank you for catching that.
