    Great choice to stay high for those soft ripples. Works quite well for me. TFS

    High angle works well to show the reflection. Just wish the beak had a better reflection.
    I think this needs a bit of CW rotation.
    Good HA and exposure looks good.
    Maybe add a tad more contrast?

    Sweet reflection, and good pastel colours. Awesome details on the face and neck. It may indeed need a bit of CW rotation. There is a faint smooth vertical area softly crossing the ripples halfway between the bill and left edge, just wondering what did that.

    I am not too sure, but I think this is due to reflection of Leaves etc.

    I did not want to add to contrast as to risk losing details in the blacks.
