Superb capture of calm water and exposure is really good.
Not to specially mention that water droplets on the back is super addition.
i find the blue's of water got warm touch and enhanced it.
added a bit of sharpness USM to the bird and ran a round of NR over bg.
Hope you'll like it.

Nice job on the exposure and reflection. Mital's tweaks bring it out even more.

Your exposure looks solid...I've stuggled with these birds. Lovely details, topped off by the water droplets on his back. Mital's post looks the most natural to me.

I like Mital's repost, but both need CCW rotation and a bit more space at bottom. Great job on the exposure Robert...that bill can be easy to blow, especially with all those blacks to contend with:c3:

Nice image Robert and mital's repost takes it up a notch.
Very nice exposure of a tough bird to get right.
