Great job on the panning, except I wish you had released the shutter before the subject had passed you. Sharp with good detais. Colours look nice too, and I love the trailing water drops.
Sharpness looks great and so do the blacks. You've got a hot spot on the back of the head that needs to be toned down. Love the trailing water droplets. Would probably add a bit of canvas on the right and move the bird slightly lower in the frame. The biggest issue, as Daniel points out, is that the bird has already flown past you.
Thanks Daniel and Doug for your input. The more frontal images of this bird lack droplets and good eye contact.
