Beautiful stilt - quite different than ours over here.
I really like the mist, reflection, and the water ripples, as well as the bird's pose.
My only suggestion would be to move the bird off-center to add some interest.
Really nice image!

Very clean image with a lovely reflection. I agree about moving the subject off-center. Also, I'm not able to see detail in the black, but that may be just me. The detail in the white is terrific.
