You have a lovely capture here, Don. The light is very nice as is the pose and exposure. To bad the reflection hadn't been a little better, but the picture really works well as is.
Thks Marina, do you think a higher F stop would have helped with a better reflection? It was windy so the water had some motion, with ripples.
Thks for your input!! Don
Nice portrait of this spoonie Don. I like the bg and inclusion of the reflection. I don't think any more dof would have helped with the clarity of the rreflection as you said the water had ripples from the wind. I think the reflection is still strong enough, rather painterly. Exposed well and plenty sharp. Well done.

IN this case the reflection was effected by the ripples in the water, not the f/stop. Not much you can do about that, except hope to catch a bit of a lull in the wind, while still having a good pose.
Colors and bird very nice.
Cheers

Nice one Don. Like the pose, color, detail, and good comp with reflection
