Thanks for the intense critique. I respectfully disagree. These reflections are real life. In the real world, reflections are not always mirror-like. No highlights are blown out. Sometimes, mirror reflections distract from the subject(s). Anyway, I'm sorry you didn't like my presentation. I liked it very much.

Great looking birds. I don't know what kind they are, but they have some really neat looking beaks and colors. I also like the ripples in the water and the reflections.
