I like the positioning of the bird right in the sky reflection between the trees. Great example of a neg space shot. colors look good, clarity is good, composition is good. Nice shot.

If the bird is any more to the right or left and you'd lose him in the reflection of the trees. Looks like you set him down in just the right spot.

Yes, good, dark reflections + silhouette carve out negative space.

This is the 2nd of two bird reflections that I really like in this challenge. It's simple and perfectly focused but the undulation of the reflected trees adds a nice bit of interest, and not just a straight line. Very pretty.

you captured him at just the right space in the water - his shadow head is parallel with the end of the shadow trees. I might have cropped just a little off the bottom to pull it down a little, but that might have made it top heavy. Not sure. Very well seen and captured. 8

I like the way the bird fits in the shape created by the reflection.
