Interesting shot with the muddy beak and face and drops in mid air. Lovely light on the side. A bit of fill flish would have opened up the shadow areas on th breast and forehead. A little more space around the bird would be good and I would clone out the distracting red braches in the water behind the bird
Beautiful bird. The side of the bird is weel exposed. The deep shadows around the face are a bit distracting. Have you tried some shadows/highlights in photoshop? You could also clone the red branch in the background.
That face looks too funny. Nice light, it would have been better if the sun would have been behind you. You could use S/H to get more details in the shadows. Other nits have been mentioned.
