Nice picture. Love the turned upside down thing you did. Nice frame, really pulls it together.

Lots of reflections here, but having the bird in focus would have helped make this a great shot.

I wish you hadn't flipped the image, also not fond of the color you used for the border. the brown kinda makes it look dull/sullen. Parhaps a 2-tone border of white-black?

If the goose is the subject, it should be in sharp focus. Whites are blown.

This photo is out of focus and I can't see the water as much as I would need to to give it a high score.
