Showcases awesome colors on the beautiful bird. Love the pose and freeze. A better angle could have been made it a killer.

Nailed it, great shot. Tack focus, detail, clear eye and exposure. These birds are difficult to get much detail on, especially the black, because they have such fine feathers almost like fur. I love the water reflection on the wings.
