Well caught reflection, nice work.

Nicely captured Pam,
Good detail, colours and sharpness.
Composition and exposure are good. Good POV and framing.
Thanks for posting, have a great week.

Hi Pam,
Great photo, strange that it is so underrated. The light and sharpness are great. I do feel that the b/g is a bit distracting and would have been better if it was a tat more blurry. It all has to do with capturing an animal that won't pose for you for a long time.
TFS,
Niek
