Like the splash and the open bill. Excellent sharpness too. I do wish the sun was lighting up the eye a little better though.

Good comments from Vishal and Doug.
If not done already, you might be able to open the shadows a bit.
Cheers

I like the bubbles, the splash and the calling pose. Agree that better lighting would have improved the image.
Beautiful image with open beak.I like the details,colors, water droplets very nice composition.
Rest is mentioned above.

Thank you all for commenting, as suggested, I have lightened the shadows a tad in this edit.
I love the open billed neck stretching pose and the splashing water adds to the image. I would have liked a better angle for the sunlight although your repost with the shadows lightened has helped Joe.
Very nice shot.
Love the open bill.
Great water splash, nice comp, and I like the foam at it's feet.
Repost looks better.
Well done.
