This is probably my last oldie. I guess I will have to move my behind and get some new stuff....

Great exposure and timing, this may be personal opinion but where you cut the reflection doesn't work for me, I would like to see more of the reflection (above the head) or less (right at the chin)
Super image. Fantastic IQ and exp..Moment is great. Top class stuff Ofer
Thanks for your comments guys!
Chad, I agree with you. I can either crop a bit off the bottom or blur/clone out the reflection. Thanks!![]()
Ofer, great IQ as always. moment, low angle, bird angles, exposure, calm water, ripples...this one has it all.
I wouldn't want to see this one cropped form the bottom as you want that room for those long virtual legs. If you want to do something, add some room down but then you'll have to add at the top....not sure how that will turn out. If mine, I'd keep it this way.

Love is in the air...
Spot on. love it Ofer!
Superb behavioral shot, Ofer!
I was immediately drawn to the lovers' eyes, so I guess I wouldn't mind the reflection and keep this as is.
Nice capture that draws the attention of the viewer straight away. As mentioned above great image quality and colors. I can see the point about the cut reflection, but agree with not cropping the virtual legs away. Congratulations.

love it great exposure of whites and blacks

Lovely Ofer, exposure and pose are excellent

Just right - not interested in the reflection the birds and their eyes hold my attention.
Excellent image Ofer. Light, bg, exposure and IQ - all stunning.
Love the title too :)
fantastic image Ofer,love the green water ,ripples,BG,sharp,bang on exposure,magic.thanks.
An excellent, excellent shot! I love the poses of course, the gorgeous light and the excellent post processing work (this one really pops!). I can see why people are bothered by the cut off reflection, but I don't really see a way around it. I personally don't think it is an issue at all though! Maybe if this were mine I would try to see what this one looks like without the darker line in the BG, probably I would leave it in like you have. Alltogether I think this one is a winner!![]()
This is a top class IMG Ofer. So much to like, the exposure, comp and bg all perfect. Well done on this![]()
Awesome image, both technically and aesthetically. The cut off reflection is a tad bit distracting, but as Krijn points out, there is no graceful way to deal with it. Despite that minor nit, it's a winning shot!
