This is a good shot with a great reflection Balan. These white birds in direct light can often blow the highlights but you have managed to keep them pretty well.
I like the water shimmer on the right but the left seems slightly unbalanced with what almost seems to be a cut-off line on the left side of the birds body. I suspect that it’s the strong directional light though.

There are some really nice things about this image. It’s a little subtle. I like the reflections of the bird. But I agree with Ryan, but there’s just something that seems to be a little off balance. I’m not sure how I would change it. Perhaps increase the water reflection to become a little more visible on the right side.
