Very nice record shot with good sharpness on the head, especially as the bird is obviously moving along. If you can uncrop the bottom of the shot to put back the reflection of the bird i think this would improve it. I would have tried to get a lower shooting angle to minimize the ripply background.

I like this shot - I think the slightly damp crest really adds to the atmosphere of what must have been a fairly wet day!
