Beautiful duck. Nice details and color palette. However the image is too dark and the colors are a bit thin. Some minor adjustments to the black point, contrast and exposure can really bring out the beautiful tones of the bird without touching the saturation at all. Also applied some noise reduction to the background. Very appealing photo. Note that I just did a few adjustments on the whole image and didn't pay much attention to keeping the whites perfect or anything else. That you can do again on the RAW.

Nice duck. Good low angle and the detail is nice as well.
