Excellent capture of the reflections. The capture has good DOF and detail. Thanks for posting!

Very nice situation yoou captured here Ricardo. The colours are good and I like the reflection in the water but it si burned in the back feathers. Try to underexpose by 0.5-1 and work it out in PS (better have an underexposed picture than an overexposed).

Again a nice use of reflection in one of your shots, Ricardo. Interesting posing with just one leg visible, and beautiful colors and clarity of the water. Well done. Outstanding job on the notes, too.

Interessante composizione, la qualità dell'immagine non è alta, ma è certamente più importante essere riusciti a catturare quest'uccello nella posizione di riposo!
