Hi Peter, what a treat it must have been to see these guys up close. I like the textures in the water and you did a nice job getting enough DOF to get both birds sharp. for me, the image would be stronger if there was a little separation between the eiders and if the eye on the front bird was more visible--it looks like this was pretty difficult light to be shooting in. with high contrast subjects like this early or late light is best. look forward to seeing more of your work.
