Larry some lovely action you captured in this image. There seems to be a lack of color which can come from harsh lighting and the head if turned toward the camera would strengthen this image When cropping it is good to leave more room on the left for the bird to be able to move on out and less room at the right or behind the subject. If you have no objections to cloning some of the dark spots could be cloned from the water. Thank you for sharing and we will look forward to your future posts.
