good use of - EC to stop whites from 'blowing' - although of course if using spot metering you have to be aware that if taking a measurement from the white areas then the camera will already be calculating what it believes to be the correct shutter speed for that area and as such -EC could under-expose. personally i find it better to use one method or the other.

also, consider whether the horizontal line above the subject is a distraction or not - it's your image so only your opinion truly matters

As this was taken through very thick and dirty glass Ju..that is one fine image
Good details in the feathers and eye and the water line in the pool does not worry me
well captured

I liked this even before i knew it was taken through glass, which i think makes it an even better shot.
