I liked the pose and reflection of this Lesser Yellowlegs, I would have likes a lower shooting angle, but I was on a pier.

Cool pose and reflection! Maybe a bit more contrast.
Very sweet. If you had been lower, I believe that the reflection would have been smaller. It looks as if it may benefit from a small CCW rotation. There is an easy way to check. Use the ruler tool to draw a line from the tip of the bill to the tip of the bill in the reflection. Then hit Image/Rotate Canvas/Arbitrary. If it comes up anythign but 0, then it needs some rotation.
See Fabs detailed tutorial above.
Later and love, artie

After that you simply crop (and add a bit of canvas if necessary). This same technique works well--of course--for leveling crooked horizons for those times when you forgot your bubble level. As there are often a hundred ways to do something in Photoshop, Digital Basics covers several methods of rotating canvas to ensure that an image is square to the world.
Later and love and keep up the great work. Artie
