Cool pose and a good exposure. The undisturbed reflection is great. To me it looks like it needs just a touch of a ccw rotation. I am also not over sure about the placement of the bird in the frame, but would have to play around to see if anything seemed to work better.

Thank you, Ben. I don't think the rotation is off (drop a vertical from the eye and it directly intersects the reflection), but I may be wrong. I wrestled with placement in frame and settled on the ROT position. Cropping more would have interfered with IQ too much, I'm afraid.

[Ben_Sadd]

Yes, taking the reflection into account rotation needed would be minimal and unnecessary

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks, Ben.
