I like your title. Once I read the title, I can easily imagine this little bird about to plunge into the water, the only place where it can sing. Sometimes I wonder if I am an underwater songbird who has wasted too much time flying because I didn't know what I was.

the blues hues really give this a cold and crisp feel
the lack of the obvious reflection whether planned or fortuitous helps the image stay odd

i don't quite follow the title but i like the shot
