Neat shot, and I like the use of the square format here. My only nitpick is that I wish the bird's reflection was complete, but to be honest I'm not sure about that, I'd probably have to see it and compare.

The puddle ended so his whole reflection wasn't there

This is brilliant. It’s along the lines of work done by MC Escher.

One thing I would experiment with is changing the white area between the 2 buildings that appears mostly blown out (all white). I think it would be worth while to darken some of this area.

I tried it and you lose a sense of depth. The white area is the grey sky above, the detail towards the bottom is coming from over hanging trees. It looks a lot better in print than the jpeg I posted.

Cool. Being any tone but white would do it
