I waited a few years for this shot of the bird and the reflection to happen at the same time. It was always no bird or too windy or the sunset was not right with a warm glow. I had to wait for the water to settle between frames from the birds moving and fishing for minnows. The light was fading fast and had 5 minute window to make it happen.

Hi, John, This is a wonderfully effective minimalist wildlife image! I.M.O. only rarely achieved at this level of excellence!
