Hi Debbie - I have been switching back and forth between this and yesterdays photos to figure out which I like better - I have decided this is my favorite as the lower position on the neck and head make it seem to me as if its studying its own reflection and brings the middle together better. Both reflections are really great. I can't believe it was so calm!

@Photosanity: thanks for that Debbie I hadn't thought of that til you said it but you are right.

It looks like he has spotted his reflection and saying 'who are you?'. It's another great picture!

you could actually post it upside down (yeah, i always suggest that with reflections!) or 90 degrees clockwise and it would still be pretty cool!

Some conversation going on here, I'm sure. As though its saying 'Fancy a swim?' or 'Do I really look that good' And such lovely other reflections and colours also. A perfect composition, Jamesy.
