remask, simplify, clarity.
I like how the Mallard stands out in this image, yet seems to belong. Nice dark colors. The reflections and the pink along the horizon help keep the Mallard from being the only warm colors. Nice work.
Nice idea, but I'm wondering how if would compare with the BG a little lighter, or less contrasty. For me, it overpowers the mallard a little.
I agree with Diane, the sky would look better a bit lighter for me.
The water is very nice.
I like the depth and the clouds and the mallard reflection are great. I like this presentation, but might have to see another version to decide.
As always, your flood effects are great. I like the dramatic details and darkness of the clouds and water, but the poor mallard seems a little overwhelmed.
Diane,
I removed the simplify from the background. Do you think it works better?
Thanks.

OF the two, I prefer the OP. Maybe something in between?
Great comp! Maybe a bit less contrasty BG? Nice work!
Yes, for me the Mallard now stands out better -- but you're the artist!
Lovely reflection effect!
What Diane said!
