    Oh yes, I like the composition on this one. If the near bird would have turned its' head at a similar angle to the other its' face would have been lit up as nicely as the other. Their interest is obviously piqued by the same thing. I love the smoothness of the water...and also the elongated reflected necks. Well done :-)

    Very nice picture Alexander. Not sure if it is just the far bank's curvature making it look not level. I would probably crop off the bottom since the reflection does not appear to have a lot of compositional impact. :)

    Great shot. Looks like it needs to be rotated a couple of degrees CCW to be level. Other than that minor niggle, I really like the shot.

    Re: level rotation. I just want to add that the image is already level. Sure, the shoreline is angled...but both the break in the water caused by the birds' movements and the vertical reflections are perfectly level - as they should be. Leveling to make the shoreline straight would NOT be a good idea :-)

    Daniel, I wasn't suggesting that you level the shoreline, just the ripple. It looks wonky to me.

    Silky smooth and the alert look is a bonus!
