Nice composition. The reflection in the water looks good. The swaying fields give a nice feel to the image. Wish the plane was not present, but that is not in your control :). Thanks for sharing.

Good to know that you visited Okhla bird sanctuary.

In landscape images one tend to oversaturate. However, you need to be careful not to overdo it, else it appears artificial. In this case, lowering the saturation and dialing in a negative composition would have been better.

The sky is empty and devoid of drama. Hence immediately the eye goes to the plane.

The reflection is darker - as expected because the water has to be darker than the sky - and the thin strip of the water included attracts attention. I would have tried to give more of water and reflection and less of the sky. However, one needs to see if the reflection is less cluttered or not.

You can also crop from the bottom to exclude the water and a bit of the reeds and show only the top of the reeds with the sun and the plane.

Cheers,
