Tricky light, by the looks of it Dave, but nicely handled!!
The deep green rendering of the water sets the bird off very nicely, and the hint of behaviour is nicely timed.

Great reflection shot!
Perhaps toning down the "hot" white parts in this one would improve it even more.
Well done capturing the action and water ripples.
Nice one Dave, it is probably the JPG compression that give the appearance of the whites being a touch hot... I am a little distracted by the 'dark blob' just in front of the tipof the beak.....

I was wondering about that dark blob myself Dave
The lighting looks like it wasn't doing you any favours so very well executed shot Dave
Whites look just on the 'cusp' on my monitor, and if it were me I'd crop this so the waterline on the leg was vertically centered.

The whites are not blown but could easily be toned down
