I see it the same as you do. The shadow seem to be in front of the bird. Perhaps the water is 100% in level. Another explonation is that it is Lucky Luke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Luke see first illustration), not a Loon as I presumed :-)

To me, it looks like the bird's beak is 1 cm ahead of itself in the reflection. I know this isn't true, I just checked with Paint Shop Pro. I will say that the elbow in the bottom wing's reflection looks 1 cm ahead. Perhaps this is because the white part in the real wing fades into the sky. Regards, Bob S.
