OK, this is the third shot in this series. This is basically the shot Dan K wanted from my original, two-bird frame - no backing male and no black stripe at top. Both were achieved in
camera in this instance, and I really like the suggestion of habitat the reeds and their reflection offer. After this it'll be back to super smooth fore- and backgrounds.

Processed in LR CC. Cloned out a few small irregularities on water and two larger black blobs at extreme upper right.
