Beautiful light makes this image stand out. I love the reflection. I might crop a little from the top and perhaps give a little more room in front of him? Superb image!
As mentioned by Ian, the lighting on this is really great. However, I don't think the vertical format suits it that well.

Like Robert I think a landscape format or pano would have worked really well for this. The detail and light is, as always, spot on but not enough room for the bird to fly into.

Lovely lighting and reflection but agree a landscape format would work better

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your comments so far.
The reason i chose this format is because the distance between the reflection and the bird is quite large and the upright position of the wings in combination with the reflection allmost forced me to choose a vertical format.
I have some shots from this series as horizontal crop, however they don't seem to work that well..
