Details on the bird look very nice and colors are spot on. I find the grasses in the fore and background distracting here.

Great POV and I like the color palette.Good HA.
I also like your comp.
I would clone out the 2 grasses above the head (left and right)

Nice frame of this ducks. The vertical composition works well. The blue and green compliment each other nicely.

Very nice, Joe. I agree completely with Isaac's comment.
