To really improve your wildlife photography shoot from a lower angle in a situation like this. As a wildlife photographer I really dislike photos from this angle.

A good looking bird. I think some burning or curves adjustment on the leaves in the water might have helped, though.

Love the motion and the focus... and the swirl of the leaves.
