I like this one too, it's the lighting that makes it and the contrast to the water IMO. If you could just bring out it's back end so as it doesn't blend in too much with the water (super simple to do) and maybe (i say maybe) crop it a little so as you bring the good ol' "rule of thirds" into play and it would be even better IMO!

i know what u mean, but it has been cropped to allow for the reflection, and as such the bird including the reflection occupy 2/3 of the pic, and the bird and reflection occupy 1/3 each, or there abouts, the levels have already been brought up as far as i would want to be honest tho,
thanks for the input tho, always welcome

If using PS you could maybe use the dodge tool just everso slightly on the edge then you wouldn't affect the rest of the image and ruining any of the mood you have created. Tough i think i remember you saying your screen may be out on an earlier post, so may well just be that.

Still looks good as is tho!
