Great shots Mike. Love the low angle and backgrounds as per your usual high standards.
On the topic of reflections, like Randy I don't save them (basically crop away most of it) unless the water is perfectly calm. I don't like messy ones and I also like the bird lower in the frame. But those things are all subjective. That said I do sort of like the reflections in #5 for the rainbow quality of the streaking.

Beautiful images, Mike! Personally, I think the reflections in images 5, 8, and 9 are pretty nice. Reflection patterns in (non calm) water can be interesting sometimes. I like the light, background, colors, and low angle of your images. Great work, as always, on these!

Spectacular imagery of Wood Ducks! The low perspective, perfect light, apparently shooting through vegetation too, reflections. Doesn't get any better than this. I like using a right angle finder too. Great work

You do woodies very well Mike, and these are no exception. I agree with Robert that some might be better with more off the bottom. I think the ones with the less defined reflections could use a little cropping ~ Ron

mike you are the master of wood ducks and clearly the low angle is making them even better
TSF. It may be interesting to see 2 images side by side with and without the reflection, if is not too much to ask?
Thank you all for your feedback. After reviewing, I do agree that some need to be lower in the frame.
I'm not sure how I feel about the reflections, I personally like them, although some can be messy, so I can see yur point there.
Here is one that I lowered in the frame and eliminated about half the reflection.
