I like the captured moment, water pattern and reflection. You could try to remove the sheen on the bill and lighten the image a bit.

Love the water pattern and flying drops. The whites and yellows stand out beautifully. Looks like it could do with some CCW rotation to line the tip of the bill with it's reflection.
