Great looking bird, Joe and the prey really adds. You have great detail where it matters around the head and neck and I quite like the bit of blur on the wing tips. Can't comment on colour except that the water looks an unusual shade of blue. Nice tonal range on the bird too. I was wondering about your composition and am guessing that you wanted to keep the 'slash' in the water behind the bird where it presumably struck and got its catch?

Glenn, thank you for viewing and commenting. The white balance was off in the original image posted. I think this is better.
