Love the photo, but do not like the border. And I am guessing I will not be the only one who says that.
I think this photo would be equally strong, and probably stronger without it.
I really like the capture of this bird. Nice detail, and I like that he is looking over his shoulder at you. For some reason he strikes me as having a great sense of humor,
The photo is a little top heavy, but with a bird like that, I don't know how you would do it otherwise.

Quite harsh daylight but the sky is clear giving good BG, eye has catchlight, crisp and in focus. You normally see these little guys around or in water.
