It was already said that the lighting and reflection look great. And of course I'm crazy about B&W

I love shooting birds...... they are difficult to capture most of the time but as your photo depicts, timeless in their elegance.

I reckon the people that gave it 1's and 2's thought it was a silhouette. Oh well, to each his own. Thanks for the comments and voting.

Basic but good composition a little harsh

I love this because it captures that fine cusp between backlighting and a sillhouette. Very delicate shot.

Nice composition, nice lighting, and very nice handling of the black and white, perfect contrast. However, I feel like it lacks a bit in originality. I've seen this before in one form or another.
