Like the lighting, pose, background, foreground and the orientation of the photo.

I like #5 …. bird large in the frame, awesome light, the elegant pose that also allows a nice sharp image from bill tip to tail, exposure and sharpness techniques top notch.

Having said all that, I think you could improve it by making some changes to the background:

1. There is a faint dark horizontal band that cuts through the bird’s head. Probably where the weeds meet the far shore. I would lighten this.

2. There are two vertical dark bands in the blurred out vegetation. I would lighten those too.

That’s my 2 cents 🙂
