Hi Andreas,
Great moment that you have captured; Avocets are such wonderful birds. Two things to think about - one is that the image needs a little anti-clockwise rotation, the reflection should align vertically. The second is to ask if the reflection is really contributing enough to the image to warrant it being included.
I have been promising myself a visit to Texel for a long time, but not made it yet!
Best wishes,
Gerald

Hi Andreas, Randy has explained for me! If you prefer it with the reflection, that is fine! It is your vision!
Cheers,

Yes I too would include the reflection but I agree a little CCW rotation is required. I assume this was early morning and there was just a little mist around? The image appears slightly soft.

I can tell you that it was a bit misty ,plus the 500 with 2 x tc made it difficult to get 100% clear and very sharp shot.
thanx for your comments guys
Andreas
