Very nice capture w/ a lot of detail in the feathers. I am inclined to want to see it cropped in a wider aspect ratio, as I think there may be a a little too much room above him. Perhaps also slightly increase the contrast or saturation of the water.

I'm fine with the saturation of the water, but I agree with Chris about the crop. I would also consider cropping a bit off the bottom of the frame. I like the eye contact and sharpness.
