pretty green reflections in the water. it's interesting how the goose's head just kind of disappears with the ripples!

But why centered. I DOES bug me when I come to think about the composition.
I agree that rule of thirds should be just a guideline, not a rule, but I belive it would
fit in here perfectly. But color is very powerfull and a subject very nice and pleasing
to look at.

Stark contrast, the greens set the peacefull mood of this refective shot! Well, done, it's so warm and fuzzy!

Nice. The white on the bird is too hot and detail has been lost though. I took one of these types of shots and submitted it somewhere. Many folks loved it, but the guys that totally slammed me were right and they ended up being very helpful. Maybe next time try to adjust the exposure compensation down and make sure you get the wihite areas without clipping. You probably couldn't have fxed it with levels adjustment. Great idea as I love the distortion as the reflection moves away from the body.

cool reflection and subject but I think it would have been better if you used the rule of thirds
