Lovely shot! Colours and details are great and I like the ripples. The reflection is near perfect. Maybe a little tight in the frame. One suggestion (learned from this forum!) - maybe take out the second catchlight.

I love the clear reflection and the redish coloured plumage always looks particularly striking against the blue coloured water.
