You have done a pretty good job with the light from the right. Sharp with a very nice bird in very bright breeding plumage. The top of the bill might do better with a Linear Burn....

Lovely colours and sharpness. Light angle doesn't bother me here as you have enough light on the face and the angle highlights the plumage textures. Maybe a bit more space for the virtual legs but it depends on how the OOF water would look.
Mikko, this is an excellent shot. Perfect shooting and bird angle. Spot-on exposure and wonderfully sharp. If you have more room in the front, I think including the spot where his gaze htis the water will make it better....and some more room at the bottom to balance that. As-is, I have loved it a lot too...well done.
