Love the sense of motion and all those water drops. Very dynamic image.
Great POV as well.
I would like a slightly looser crop ( all personal taste!) and I wonder if you can extract a bit more detail out of the whites in the right (bird's) wing.

Karl and Gail, thank you for viewing and commenting. Gail your right... there was more detail hiding in the white on the birds right wing. I used the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom with a little negative exposure and negative highlights to pull it out. Good suggestion...

Great splash from this happy shelduck. Maybe a little looser for me, too.
