Bufflehead reflection

[Michael Rogers]

What makes this reflection shot of the Bufflehead for me is the trail in the water that the wing tip leaves.

Agreed! It's a strong image. A couple of minor nits. I would crop a little off of the bottom. Whites look a little hot. And perhaps another round of sharpening.

[Jim Poor]

Ditto what Doug said, but WOW! I'd love to have this one.

[Steve Wheeler]

Awesome image... The trail puts it over the top for me.

Besides the nits mentioned, I really enjoy this image.

Very cool! Yes, I also like the trail of water!

[Maxis Gamez]

Excellent capture and details. The water could be a hair darker but an excellent image as it is. Love the wings.

[John Cooper]

Well done Michael - a delightful image! At this size I can't see the need for any improvement!!

[Tom Cudzilo]

I like that little line from wing touching the water. I agree with other re cropping. Thanx for sharing.

[James Salywoda]

Beautiful reflection captured Mike nice shot....

[James Shadle]

I actually like the crop with a little off the top.

I took a little red out and now the histogram shows no clipping in the whites.
