A bit much on the background here. Big background can be good if there is something going on, but in this case just bland water on the entire left side of the shot. The B&W also confuses me as I would love to see the color contrast between the bird and the greens behind.

Nice and simple photograph. I think the photo could use a little more contrast as the highlights are subdued.

Nice composition, some dodging to bring out contrast in the bird would have helped it pop.
