I like the sharpness of the head and water drops in contrast to the motion blur of the body.
The bird took a moment away from the bath to actually look at you, very nice.
The orange/yellow beak and eye ring are in nice contrast to the overall blue-white tone.
I think the dark patch in the RL corner is distracting, you can probably eliminate with a tighter crop.

I wouls crop de relfection in order to remove the big oof mud in the FG, other than that, I like this image very much, great natural moment, lovely composed, nice light, exposure, detail and colors. Congratulations!
I like the sharpness of the head and neck area in combination with the motion blur of the wings and flying water droplets. The LRC doesn't bother me, though cropping it would make a good alternate presentation.
