Willet catching a crab for breakfast...
I captured this Willet at Ft. Desoto County Park, Pinellas County, Florida. Cropped for composition, background cleaned up of dark vegetation/mud above right and left of the bird.

Lovely image in great light with super behavior. Nice to see the catch as well as the reflection. I would crop some from the left and a tad on the bottom and maybe right to make it just a little tighter. I think a tighter crop would showcase your behavior just a little better without hurting the feel.
Super-clean, nice light, SH with a good EXP and a nice REFL. Marina's cropping suggestions are right on. I forgot to mention the good timing and the perfect head angle.
