It's a little dark but I like the green color in the water and the fact that it still looks clear, I also love the crisp reflection.

I agree, a little on the dark side. What do you use to postprocess? You could use a little light fill in processing to lighten it. Also, are you using a polarizer when shooting into the water? That helps a lot with the reflection on the water.

thanks guys! i use photoshop cs4 for post and no polarizer. i purposely added vignette in post and darkened it a bit to express my mood. thanks again

It's beautiful. I like the feel of the photo and the green color of the water and the red beak are striking.
