I like the head on look here, as well as the ripples. Ideally, a lower angle would be nice, but I know it's not always an option.

I think you've done nicely here Rohn. Sharpness looks pretty good as does your exposure. I like the water drops on the birds back, the reflection and the lovely browns in the background water. And of course those striking eyes. Lower angles aren't easy from a truck, - I know that for sure. For me, a head angle that shows off the beak a little better would be more flattering to the bird. Nicely done.

Rohn,
I love the colors in the water, the neat elongated head reflection, the details you were able to show in the dark feathers and of course those striking eyes.
