The perfect still water, the perfect reflection... so perfect that I know I will only need one shot.
Carefully line everything up, back a bit, to the side a bit (don't fall in) back a bit.... Done!

Get home and realize that a Coot just swam right across the shot!

Photo bombed by a coot! I don't think it detracts from the shot, great composition and light.

Well, we wouldn't all be talking about it if it were perfect. Great capture, even if it was an accident.
