    Cool shot, the composition doesn't really work for me though.

    I'm struggling to figure out the reflection as well? Where is all that foliage coming from??

    Pretty, and pretty interesting, but I cannot reconstruct this subject and its surroundings! Maybe you can explain... or is it a merge? By the way, since you're new, it would be nice to see more about you in your profile - your location, what you like to be called, maybe a photo, or avatar... Welcome.

    I agree with Matt i'm afraid. I like the bird, but the composition doesn't work for me either.

    i rotated it 180 degrees... turns out that the reflection was sharper than the image!

    a different shot without rotation...

    OK... now makes sense - and is very nice. I am chagrined I could not figure that out.

    The first one is surreal Bob but I love it as an image.

    Nice bit of trickery.

    The second uploaded image makes more sense and I like it a lot.
