very nice--the hues in the water are a big plus,as is the reflection.

More likely he's thinking: "Is that guy with the bright light going to get any closer?" Before I approached the water's edge, he was preening his wing feathers with his bill, probably getting ready for bed after having supper. His colleague was down the shore a little further, crouched low, still hungry in the fading light.

He's probably thinking ... I'll just have one last look before the sun goes down...you never know....
