Nice image of the gazelle. I like the reflections but the image seems a bit unbalanced to me. Techs look good. Nice color and sharpness.

Great color and I really like the reflection. Maybe it needs just a little rotation.

[Robert Amoruso]

Seems like the rotation suggestion is a good one to me. Strong. Light handled well with the deepest shadows on the ground.

What gorgeous antelope! Visually it feels like it does need some rotation, but that could be the effect of the water's edge and bank sloping as there is no horizon for guidance. Sometimes in these situations one needs to go with the gut feel of it.
I agree that it does feel a bit unbalanced and I have had the same problem when photographing animals and reflections. Whilst the reflection itself is superb, it really does overpower the delicate looking gazelle. My opinion is that sometimes, getting a lower perspective so that the reflection is compressed somewhat, will counter balance the main subject and not overpower it. I hope I have explained myself and not muddled everyone! :o

Agree about the rotation. I like the reflections.

Def need a CCW rotation here. Nice antelope, never seen one before. The reflections looks very nice.

Dear Mark
Sorry for this problem

nice drinking pose here Seyed
agree on the rotation - the best way to gauge with reflection shots is to line specific points of the reflections up with their corresponding points on the animals. These have to be aligned in a straight vertical line.

would have liked a tad more space on the left
