I really like this image, and I liked it from the moment I saw the thumbnail. It does however need a tad of rotation. If you line up the goose's left dangling foot with its reflection, you will see it it a hair off.
I would not add any contrast or crop if it were mine. I love the moody feeling of this one and the reflections.
Love the mood and the image design and especially the BKGR trees. Bummer on the heavy secondary molt of the left hand bird.

Many thanks to all for the comments and suggestions. I have several taken earlier in their approach that do not show so clearly the missing feathers but the composition is different. Will work on these some.
