Wow, that's really clear, and well composed. I like how you didn't cut out the reflection of the bird.

I'm gonna show this to my sister. She loves birds.

Many times I've downloaded picts of birds with just part of the reflection.  So when the conditions are right, I make sure the reflection is part of the composition.  ;)

Thanks.

Kevin, do you shoot mostly in RAW?  The exposure in your pictures is just about perfect every time.

100% RAW, unless I'm using Mrs Soileau's point-and-shoot.  And btw, you only see the ones that I get the exposure right on!   ;D

Thanks for the flattery.  It's always welcome.

Beautiful image mybcjazz. I just love that green 'mask' he has and that beautiful pattern of feathers on his back. Reflection adds another dimension into an already beautiful shot.

Well done.
