Petr,
The action is great and I love the splashing water and the blur of the wings. The image seems a bit contrasty with the blacks blocked up in areas, perhaps a reduction in contrast would help that along with bringing the exposure of the darks up slightly. Was this globally sharpened? The flying water droplets looks a bit too crispy, I suggest just sharpening the bird in this case. A bit more room on the left side of the frame would allow space for the bird to "virtually" fly into, thogh compostion is personal taste.
