Beautiful water and gorgeous bird. You did a great job not getting any zoo stuff in the shot--even reflections on the water are clean. The only thing that bothers me is the centered eye in the comp. I suggest playing around with the cropping to try to move it out of dead center. Your focus and exposure are dead on. Nice shot

Beautiful colors--shapness . The water colors are wonderful. I do agree with a slightly differnet crop. Possibly a tiny bit tighter.
