A lovely pose and reflection with gorgeous light, Peter.  If you've gotten into cloning or other clean-up methods, I think the little dark spots on the water could be removed without compromising the integrity of the image.

Nice work in sweet light, and a very good composition.

Hey Peter,
Outstanding image here with the wing position, reflection and the handling of the beautiful light. The position of the subject in the composition is perfect. The details and exposure of the whites are excellent.
I agree with Dennis about removing the dark spots in the water, they distract from the pristine feel that the water offers with the seamless transition from foreground to background. I would also consider a bit of CW rotation as the image feels slightly tilted to me ?
I wish this image was in my gallery, Well done . . .  devil

Very nice image. I agree with others about cloning out the dark spots.
