I like the reflection also, Jerry! The loose feathers breaking up the reflection make it very different and interesting also. The only nit I have is the clipped highlights on the top of the wing. The detail in the feathers everywhere else is excellent.

Jerry the dropped feathers in the reflection add real interest, nice active pose.

Feathered reflections. This must surely be a first, what next Jerry? Simply superb.

Love the very intense stare Jerry. I too think you could tone down the whites just a tad on the top of the wings as Gary suggests.

Really excellent detail on the bird, the contrast with the background works very well too!

Great stalking pose and reflection you captured Jerry. I like the addition feathers too. Nice water color too.
