Beautiful colors and action on this Scott.
I'm torn on the reflection; I can see why others say they don't want one at all. Do you have enough on the bottom to post another image with a full reflection?

There is just a bit more room at the bottom -- hard to cut off the reflection because the bill is touching the water -- in this instance I felt I had to show some of the reflection -- understanding mixed feelings and welcome all comments --thanks for commenting Greg

Nice detail, beautiful water, and a cool pose Scott. I have no issue with the reflection as posted, but I think a fuller reflection would have enhanced an already fine image a tad more.

I like it as is, but agree with Charles that a fuller reflection would have enhanced the image.

Beautiful reflection and action captured. Wish for more detail in the blacks.

Nice moment here Scott. I think the cut off reflection still works fine here because the full head is kept in the frame and that is where the focus is on this shot. Nice work!

Beautiful shot of the stilt! How you handled the reflection is fine with me, but I do think you can get more detail out of both the blacks and the whites with a simple highlight/shadow adjustment.
