Very nice image Joseph, I like the eye contact, the wing spread and the sharpness. Wish you had a bit more room to the left.

Nicely caught the image looks very cold to me, I applied a Warming Filter (85) at 25% - it looks good but having said that I haven't see this bird in the flesh.

I love the pose and angling away flight path! I also like the multiple ripples in the water, very neat. Yes to more room at left, if you have it.
