I like the water drop. I might take out that one white spot beneath it and the one on tip of bill.
Photo is nice and sharp which is often hard to do when squatting down like you must have been.
I find the bg a bit distracting and not sure if trying for an all water bg would have been an improvement or not. I know it is quite easy for me to say since I was not there and birds are moving around.
I also often find it tough to get the right level on photos like this, so i level off the water drop ripples, which for me would mean this needs some cw rotation.
