    Chris, nice reflection and good angle to capture it. If the BG isn;t too distracting up there, then I can also see this as a vertical with some mroe space above.

    Love the reflection and the vibrant greens in this one Chris! Taken from a hide or from your vehicle?

    Nice pose, beautiful colors and great reflection. A handsome image. Whites on the bird are pushing the limit (supercilium is at 255) and might look better, at least to my eye, if toned down just a tad. Also, if the reflection is any measure, just a little CCW rotation would be in order.

    Great light and colors, bit the IQ is not there Chris, the bird in the reflection looks as good if not better than the actual bird. The whites are also hot to my eye, maybe darken the overall image and agree re CCW rotation.

    Excellent reflection Chris, and I do like the striking green water. The sandpiper is a touch too central, but I can see why you pushed more into the centre ( trying not to cut off the edge of the ripple??? ) I agree on the CCW rotation.
