. . . just the one drawing here, I think. Very clever to 'see' this composition in the first place but the working out of the reflections is Pythagorian; at first glance it would appear the reflections are too 'flat' and shallow, but when we factor in the angle of the steep bank and the perspective issues in depth of field, then the calculations are spot-on.like that bottom sketch very much, maybe cropped a bit so we have a bit more bird...
However all this clever mathematics shouldn't overshadow what is a wonderfully naturalistic take on this scene; birds, mud and agriculture combine perfectly. CFT will be smiling down.
