Well captured Hugh - head and body sharp as a tack while slight softness in wing tips gives a sense of movement. Interesting warm colours in the water 'reflecting' the colours of the wings!
Excellent timing for the wings position. Love the slightly blurred wings and a very still body. The colours of the water are amazing and create a very interesting tone to the picture.
I do like the composition. These handsome, colourful birds are a dream to photograph. My only nit is that the BG is similar to the bird and it doesn't quite 'pop'.
