Water not as nice as the previous frames but I love the "quacking" pose.
Maybe a touch of highlight or curves adjustment to make the bird pop a bit more?

If it quacks like a duck... Great pose for the theme. Yes to a touch of highlight adjustment, possibly combined with a slight touch of Detail on the bird's body.

Maybe not the beautiful blues of previous wall of shame images, but I'd take this in a heartbeat! Perfectly angled head to see the interior of the open bill.

You are knocking these out of the park...

I'm a fan of this bright frame and different water. nice to have some diversity in the waterfowl collection. The pose is perfect and the bird looks really good.
Nice shooting angle, comp and exposure. As mentioned earlier I really think that f/4.0 is the wrong choice here but that might be a personal opinion.
