This is from a nearby Bird Sanctuary where a steel railing and grill keeps you from getting any lower than this. This seems to be the best angle for reflections and I tried to take advantage of this blue sky day.

Steve,

I love how the blue water brings out the blue in the wings. Excellent reflection. Very nice motif shot. :)
