I'm guessing this will not score especially high. For me, the issue is the way the bird melts into the background rather than standing out either by blurring the background or using a lens with a higher focal point to get closer to the bird's head. Just my 2 cents...trying to be helpful.
I'm afraid the bird doesn't stand out enough from the background, especially at this size. I also feel like this doesn't really use the crop; it might have worked better as a vertical entry.
What a nice capture.. such a beautiful bird and I so love the reflection in the water..I could see this shot be done vertically because I would have loved to see the whole reflection with the bird.
