I always love ducks images like this where you can see the speculum (those light blue feathers). Did you crop this? It could sure use some more room all around. EXP looks OK; the highlights could be toned down just a bit for my taste.

Very nice display of the colors here. I like the speculum, and also appreciate the green on the rear, as this area is usually not well seen.
I might be tempted to soften the brightness and contrast of the water in the background just enough to highlight the bird even more. Subtle brush work on an adjustment layer might work nicely.
