 Taken at a local lake, early morning. Though I didn't mean to, I startled this one. Lucky for me. I love this photo.

Converted from raw, adjusted exposure. In PSE, cloned out some muck in water and reflection, levels, some dodging/burning/sat on bird. NI. Resize, USM, save for web.

A lovely capture. Being a PSer myself, I can see that this isn't a 'natural' reflection so well defined..looks like some shadow/highlight... but I think it makes this 'art' That white really stands out prettily against the blue. And I love the sharpness of the bird. (not voting yet)
