About the Image(s)

This photo was taken at sunset near my son's pond, and I kind of liked the mallard's reflection. It was taken with a Canon 5D Mark iv at ISO 6400, 300mm, F6.3 and 1/500 sec. I had been monkeying around with the settings that evening, and that's what they happened to be at the time.
At first I had cropped it so that there was the same amount of space above the head and below the reflection, but changed it. I'm curious which way you think is better.
