It was very clear. Perhaps mine wasn't. If you had taken three photographs with each depicting the positioning as shown it would be possible to determine with was the more favorable. Simply moving the, cropping, or whatever a single image doesn't realign the sun's reflection on the water. Thus, any attempt to compose the photograph after the fact leads to "unreal" looking alignments of reflections. It may only be a subtl few degrees but it is noticeable.

They actually are three separate photos, taken a few seconds apart. Apparently I neglected to store the originals on the last two so you weren't able to see the file names or EXIF data. If you look closely at the positions of the birds in the water that will become apparent.
