Hi Bernie The reflection is so good you could have concentrated on it and skipped the bird !!! Will do just so with bright conditions and white birds ... this could qualify for the bg !!!

I think you made the best possible image, getting lower if possible would have been the only way to make it better !!!

I see lots of the stilts, but have yet to see the chicks. Nice image!

Hi bernie...Like this image...The reflection is wonderful! You might consider running some noise reduction on the bg and cleaning up that bright speck just above the birds head.
