Super details and exposure - a gem! The water seems a slightly electric blue to me but that is probably me being jealous of your light over there!
Not usually my favorite wing position, but it works here IMO. Interesting "M" shape to them. Gorgeous blues. Maybe more sharpening to the face? I'd surely lose the lower catchlight if mine, and maybe explore a version with some CCW rotation (just based on the apparent "sloping" of the water patterns...could be just creating an illusion but worth giving it t go).
Very nice Joe....Because of the POV I like the flight pose....Great feather detail....I hear Jon about the BG colour....as he said jealous of the light.

Wing pose works well with the bird's path of flight; they frame the face well. Exposure and details look great. I'd lose the lower catchlight as Dan suggested. Could see a bit more sharpening on the face, but it's not a deal breaker without it. Well done!
