Lovely water and great eye contact. The crop could be improved upon by adding a little canvas up top, on the right, and on the left. As presented, the bird sits too high in the frame, is a little crowded in the rear, and has nowhere to swim to.

I like the 'turbo' pose, details and water colors and agree that a slightly wider crop would make it even better.

Another vote for wider, but lovely colors, exposure and light. Water is great!
