Nice image! I wouldn't crop it closer, love the huge negative space. But like mariuca, I'd
prefer it without the vignette.

It is horizontal.
Yes it is but I think Lydia meant flipping it upside down.

The reflection is perfectly symmetrical to the bird. Amazing image, perfect for the challenge. Congratulations

The use of negative space in this photo really captures the spirit of this challenge super well--on both the X and Y axes. Terrific job!

Elegant. But what's happening with the three sided vignette? For me, just the bird and its reflection in a pond of off-white would have please me more

Lovely image but I feel you should have made the bird and it's reflection fill more of the frame though as it would have made more visual impact for this particular challenge.(7)

this is absolute magic ..
and totally satisfies the challenge ..
I hope you don't get marked down because you entered a similar shot recently ..
because i do feel we should judge each photo on its own merits in a challenge ..
this looks like a ribbon to me ..:)
not voting atm .. :)

This is great, Anita!
I think I'd have turned it sideways... just for fun for this challenge.
