Bill:
A fun pose, nice that the rear bill is clear of the front duck's head, well exposed, enough DOF.
I might be tempted to smooth out some of the debris in front of the birds.

Well timed to get them together like that, and cool beaks as Randy points out. I'm fine with the debris...may be difficult to remove so many dark spots.
Sharp and well done. I'd wish for a bit more separation between the two heads. with love, a

Lighting, detail, and exposure are all right on! The color on the water is great, but the you'd ideally have a lower angle to separate the birds from it a bit more. Doesn't look like the vegetation in the front was gonna let than happen so you had to split the difference. Two heads make for an interesting effect, but I think they need be either close to give the sense of a double-headed bird or father apart to help isolate one of them.
