washed and brushed the shoulders with his wet
feet ... what a clean animal

I love images like these, an image of something you don't often see everyday.
However, I think there are just a few things that can be tweaked to make it better.

I think the thing I dislike the most about this image is the composition. It's a square ratio, and your subject is sitting right in the middle. I think using the rule of thirds would make this photo more pleasing to the eye.

The lack of contrast gives this photo a glow, and while I generally like this, I think a slight bump in contrast would benefit this photo. And this is just my personal preference, but I think some vignetting would bring more emphasis to your subject.

Other than that, it's a wonderful image. Great focusing (I love it runs down the edge of his wing) and great tones as well. You should be very proud of this photo!
