Sadly overexposed the heron a bit but I caught the pose and symmetrical reflection.

Thank you for the reply.
Moving the sliders of the histogram is the one thing I've been able to do myself without 'messing up' the image. Will try it for this pic as well.
Working with masks is something that really makes sense for such instances but it kind of feels like cheating to edit this way. Maybe I'm just to hung up on the idea to keep photos close to the real thing, whatever that might be.
Using the .jpg my camera creates already contains lots of adjustments....
