Fabulous image, lots to like, the trailing feet with highlighted water droplets, the whites look perfect and head/beak clear against the wing.
Look good with reflection removed also.

High impact, I love the white on black. The foot-dragging action is pretty neat too. Cropping the white reflection out gives an even more dramatic feel IMO.

Spectacular shot, Juan. I really like the white on black effect and the sculpted look of the bird. It almost looks statue-like. I'm less sure about whether cloning out the reflection works for me though. Overall, really top execution and one I'd be proud to have.
