This picture is technically done very well. My only suggestion would be to crop to make the bird the main focus. The rocks are a bit distracting. I wasn’t really sure what was supposed to be delicate until I read the title. Love the rich black water.
IMHO, I think that the top of the picture is distracting, you could have given us more land, or no land at all, maybe this would have helped this beautiful picture
