Direct shot. No montage, just crop and light adjustment.
Compositionally, the reflection is a great element. It does not look real though and why would you feel the need to say it is not a composite in your description? The reflection is has the same uniform sharpness from top to bottom. The reflection also floats above rather than sits on the water. There is a consistent white masking edge along the left side of the reflection. The edges of the reflection are very crisp while the water looks quite soft. There are no reflection high lights or shadows as you see in the undulation of the water. The bird has two reflected heads?
I don't mind photo manipulation, but I would be very surprised if this was one shot.

I felt the need to say it is not a composite in my description because I know that there are rude guys like you !
I don't mind photo manipulation too, but I don't like people like you that so easy say I'm a lier. Maybe you should improve your photo analysis skills.
Below you have a 800x600 resize of the original photo.
