Nice shot, I love the Mallards landing or taking off. What does crop 3 mp mean, just trying to understand the terminology and % reduction.
I like the natural feel for the image, that was what you saw. I bet the histogram was pretty balanced, I like it. Might take a bit off the right hand side, the reflection makes the image large; reduce all the negative space you can.

Paolo, I love the ducks wing position and body angle. Looks like an airplane coming in for a landing. Excellent exposure. I not so sure about the crop. I know you wanted to include the reflection but IMO I don't think it really adds enough for the picture. Also the bubbles in the water are a little distracting and could maybe be cloned out.Congrats.

I like the pose and implied motion, Paolo. I would crop a little from the right to move the bird to the right in the image. Agree on cleaning up the pale spots on the water and may try and patch some colour and texture over the pale water on the left. Well done.
here is some correction i thought can be good.
due to time i've not touched up the spots which i agree with others needs to be cloned out.
removed blue cast and added a bit warm day light value dont know if that match with your taste.
some sharpness selective that enhanced reflection detail as well. and ccw rotation.
