    Just read Arthur Morris blog on reflections, when to keep, when to cut off, etc.
    so I thought I would post this one that I took just a few days ago.

    I kept it all...

    This one would work for me either with or without the reflection. The lovely water is an added bonus when showing the reflection. In fact, if you had more room at left it would be tempting to give some more room. Great wing position. Perfect exposure. Lovely.

    Nice splashing water. The reflection is a plus as well. Like the painterly water.

    Hi Dan, about as perfect reflection as is possible. Beautiful bird, nicely shown, wonderful background. Thank you for sharing.

    Dan:

    Shot from the right angle to give you the best chance at a good reflection. Even more impressive with an action shot like this.

    Congrats

    Works for me. Good action. Perhaps a touch of CW rotation needed, and maybe a bit more above if you have it. I like the zig-zagging lines in the water.
