Beautiful bird. Nice low angle. Would tone down the Highlights on head and beak as well as the light streak in the water above head.

The highlights on the head/bill are too pronounced and detract rather than enhance the image. I like the low-ish angle, and the dark water looks good. May need a bit of CW rotation. I also see some repetitive clone marks that need cleaning up in front of the bill's reflection.
