Nice flight pose captured with good details and the whites look good. I would add a little room at the top and perhaps desat the sky a touch and tone it down a little.
Hi Thomas Very good capture Flying mallards are always a challenge. I like the down wing position a lot, wish you could have made the image a second earlier and wonder about the exposure? Not sure about the negative comp for this one. There is a large shadow area without detail. Might be able to help out in PS but generally makes if look odd !!!
Overall a very nice image sharp and appealing position !!!!
Good suggestions above, and yes, zero would have been fine. Ideally the bird would be flying at you rather than away but I like this one despite that. You definitely need to reduce the CYAN in the sky.

Love the wing position in this image and the above comments have really touched on everything. Congratulations on great timing to catch this flight image.
