Comment by RonB:
It's not your fault, but for a cover photo I find the debris in the water distracting. This challenge permitted editing, and this photo would fare better if the debris were cloned out.

The front of the foot would have been another point from me.

Beautiful bird, but this looks a little washed out to me? Seems to be lacking in contrast.

Yes! Very fitting, even you left space for the title! I would increase the contrast a little (or saturation) as there is a gray cast. I am sure looks good in your version but my experience is that there is a loss of contrast when pictures are uploaded. But composition is good, subject is very fitting, background is wonderful ... I give it a 9.

Nice idea, but seems underexposed near the bottom 1/3.
