This is composite? I sandwiched one image focused on the male duck with another image focused on the female. I made a BG copy layer of the sharp female image and reduced the opacity, erased the out of focus female and then flattened. The light was harsh, so I lost some whites in the male.

Very interesting concept! I like your crop and the way you layered the images together.
Greaet job in the composite. You can take some texture from other feathers and clone it in the burnt space.
I too like the composite. You created a quite-believable image that allows a great comparison of the male and female. As Fabs said, a bit of cloning would help with that blown highlight area on the male.
