Handsome Scaup, Joe. Good light, colors and angle. I might consider a pano crop, taking some off the bottom. I often do that with swimming waterfowl and like the result. Could this use just a hint more sharpening?
I am reposting this image at 1200 pixels on the long side. I tried larger, do not like it for viewing. As Arash said he will not comment on any images smaller than 1920 pixels, I will not comment on any larger than 1200 pixels. It just makes viewing too difficult on my display.

Hey Joe. Both sizes look very nice. You have a good pose and great head angle with great feather details. I would brighten the image a touch. Boy do I wish the Greater Scaup in NY would come in close.
Thanks Bill, Isaac, and Randy for viewing and commenting. I revisited the image after reading your comments, the sharpening setting was low compared to what I would normally use. I corrected that and reposted the 1200 pixel image. Thanks again...
