I know the reflection isn't perfect. That's what Flaming Pear Flood is for! Seriously I don't have a problem with it as it is, but that's just me. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Beautiful details and pose. I like the feathers in the back most especially. The reflection has interest and the BG is pleasing. Well done.

Very nice illustrated look, Bill. I'd probably cone out that very end piece of the reflection but don't really mind it too much. Nice muted pallette and cute subject!

Beautiful details and pose, Bill. Nice sharp eye. I don't mind the imperfect reflection. Well done!

Nice image and application, Bill.

Like the reflection as is, as it is more natural than a perfect one.
