Interesting concept. I like the composition and the white background, but I think a deeper DOF would improve the overall shot by sharpening the bottom and top three teeth

Would've been really cool if you'd had the dimensions of the picture 1:1,618 It would be perfect!

Comment by moodville:
The light and color is excellent. and your exposure is good. The details of the features are wonderful and the bird looks in focus and nicely sharp. The pose is fairly generic, which isnt a bad thing but with wildlife photography you're always trying to capture something just a little different. I'm also not sure about the cropped feet on the foreground bird and the head crop with the background birds. The colorful reflections fill up the negative space to the left of the bird but I still get a feeling that I would rather see him isolated, a closer shot, or with more of a crowd. It's still a good shot.

Love the reflections in the water and use of negative space. Really beatiful pattern and great overall composition.
