Great pose.
I would crop out the log on the RHS. I don't think it adds anything to the image.
I think a square crop with the duck nicely centered would really focus the viewer eye onto the duck.
I would also try to lift the shadows a bit.
I like the snowflakes and the bit of iridescence on the primaries.
