Dynamic image with the unusual situation where he changed directions after take off to leave you with the diagonal trail of splashes to make for a nice comp.
You might be able to pull out a bit more detail from the shadows, it looks like the light was fairly bright.
This is a pretty cool image. Gotta love that take off pose and the trailing water!!! Your bird looks pretty sharp. Light could have been better but you did well considering.
Neat COMP with the diagonal wake. Yes to a bit brighter on the bird, especially the darker tones. NIK Color Efex Pro's Detail Extractor would do wonders here.
