welcome to the club! You are only learning? gee, you can go straight to the head of the class. The photo without the bird would have been exceptional but with it, it is an added bonus...several hits on the water to get airborne and disturbing the quiet tranqility....a really wonderful image to look at!

Welcome to DPS David! It might be your 1st DSLR, but your not new to Photography! That's a very well composed shot. Love the colors and even the bird taking off being just out of focus adds to the mood and creates an overall pleasing capture.
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.

this is an amazing shot.. brilliant colors, awesome reflection, and the ripples in water breaks the calmness in a very refreshing way..

Yeah, the bird part is awesome luck! Great job!
I didn't know you had water in Des Moines? Thought it was all corn??
