Shot this at a local lake last March. Bird is angled slightly away, but I still like the frame.

500 f/4 AF-S II + 1.4x tc
1/2000
F8
ISO 400

I like it too. I like the reflective light and the wingtip touching the water. Very nice.

Wow, what a gorgeous shot. I think the bird being slightly angled away gives a better perspective than being flat on. Contributes to an almost 3D effect. The reflection makes it perfect, IMO.
