Nice action caught, love the intense/hungry stare. Exposure looks good and I like how the water goes from calm to busy where he's standing. I'd crop some off the left and maybe remove the two dark twigs under his neck. Very nice environmental.

Very nice capture.
Very busy forground makes for a complicated image. Also could be a little sharper. A little NR on the bg.
Congrats on the nice image.

I like the hunting pose here, very cool. I'm not crazy about the large branch under the chin. If this bird was motionless for a bit it would have been interesting to try for a longer exposure to create movement in the water?
