Hi Joe ... this a super reflection shot . The visible detail in the reflection is just awesome .... i might be tempted to get it closer to " original " in tone and color .
THe angle of the bird might be not ideal but the head turn saved this shot for you .
Color and tone in the subject is loking good , nice job

Sweet reflection in this one Joe!

Good head angle and exposure with that bright water. Nice reflection. Some CCW rotation needed.
