Excellent! Getting the catchlight in both the subject and reflection is fantastic. The gorgeous blue setting is great too.

A perfect reflection Andy

I like the ripples around the Grebe too, it all works very well.
Great work.

I agree with you Andy - the reflection is a fine one and I like the head turn. The angle seems a little steep to me and I think the head is a bit soft.

I like the reflection too Andy, especially the great reflection of the face. I also think the small bow wave adds a lot to this.
