This is a beautiful shot. I like the outstretched wings, wing tips, and the reflection in the water.

I love the upturned wing tips and the 'V' shaped 'landing strip' created by the reflection. Perfect timing!

Good, even with the centered composition. The reflection is a very strong part of this image. Meets the challenge theme well too.
