Photo taken at Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas.

Nikon D810, 300mm f/2.8 lens, 1/800 sec at f/9.0, ISO 800

Reflection shots with the bird in the water, when the reflection is an extension of the bird is not that hard to get.  It's unusual for a reflection to be as sharp as the actual bird when the bird is not close to the water.

Quite magical-have to agree with Joe. I like the dark blue bits in there too- the whole picture is so harmonious.
