Full frame crop from horizontal ( so lucky I didn't clip the wingtips!)
I like the way the light is on the head in this shot.
I am in a "no clone anything in my pics" period but now that I look at the image I think I could have cloned out the catch light on the beak.
PP: Crop, NR to BG, levels, a touch of NR on the birds' left wing, DE on bird at 3% and sharpen JPEG with USM at 30/0.3
Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,

Eye catching display, super sharp and those wings are amazing plus the droplets leaving the feet are a nice touch. Light and color looks great, some of the brighter white patches are verging on hot I think, but acceptable as is....well done Gail, I can see I will one day have to pursue more water bird species
