I like the wing-down position, and you froze the action nicely. Exposure looks good. A head angle slightly more towards us would not only been better for the pose itself but also would have put the eye right in the sunlight. As posted I would crop a bit both at top and bottom. Neat texture in the water!
Daniel is right on, to which I would add that I like the position of the feet. I would be fine with a big crop from the bottom.
