Nice but too tight in the frame for me Likely a one year old.

Hi Artie, thank you for viewing and commenting. I guess was fixated on showing the detail on the head, bill and water running off the bill. Paid more attention to the trees rather than the forest. Here's a edit with more room on the left. WDYT?

Still too tight in front and above for my tastes :)
with love, artie
ps: now the bird is centered!

Hi Artie, here is the uncropped image. The placement of the bird is not ideal ( I think ) but there were many other birds in this small pool zooming around feeding. I tried to isolate single birds and not have to remove others from the image. If you have time, please show me the best way to show the bird. Thank you.

Yes Joe, with the bird poorly positioned in the frame the crop is a tough one unless you want to mess around with adding canvas which is more than tricky when waves and ripples are involved. My repost is as good as I could do -- I did lose the extraneous partial head reflection.
