I realize the reflection is problematic, but I liked the inclusion of the worm, or whatever it was. Nice to see winter migrants showing up. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
William, what a lovely, soft image. Nice catchlight in the eye - I also like the inclusion of the worm. I don't hate the reflection but I do think the image would be stronger without it. Let's see what the others say...
Hi Bill - love high key images and this is no exception - Agree with Jules - think I would loose the reflection, the water lines in the BG do not bother me.
Nice detail in the eye and exposure looks good.
Good Show :)
Hi Bill. Great pose with worm. I really like the high key look and exposure. My first reaction was that I liked the reflection, despite what is often said about keeping a less-than-mirrorlike reflection; but I tried a 'browser crop' and it seems to make at least as strong an image without it.
Exposure and detail very good. I like the lines in the background. I like it better wo the reflection If lower angle had been possible that would have been a big plus.
