I love the reflection in the first picture.................

Thank you. I was stopped down a bit to f/6.3 I think it helped with the reflection.

Very nice shots. The reflection in the first image could be mistaken for another bird - if birds walked upside down, that is!

Perfect shot! How does stopping down to 6.3 help with reflection? Still learning, thanks.

More depth of field so the reflection comes in sharp focus.

Exactly, that's my hope, anyway... Online DOF calculator says I get a few more inches of acceptable focus.

Lovely shots, I would be tempted to crop a little tighter just because the reflections are lovely.
