Shoveler Hen Reflection

Captured at a nearby lake. I liked the weird reflection and color of the water on this one. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Excellent capture of the Shoveler, Jerry! Very nice detail in this image and I love the funny mirror reflection. We get some of these up here every year but I haven't had enough lens to get a decent capture. I'll be ready for them this year though.

A very cool reflection, Jerry. Excellent detail. I think a bit more canvas on the bottom and less on the top might work even better.

Really good job at the detail and color on this Shoveler Hen. I agree the reflection is rather strange but the optical properties of water can certainly do that.

Man, I like that reflection of the bill on this Jerry, awesome! Fantastic detail in the Shoveler. I agree with the comment Dennis made about the composition and the light and water are perfect. devil
