Hi Ryan, I like the pose with the open beak and water but on my monitor it could use a bit more contrast and the feathers seem to be lacking fine detail, Was this a large crop if not it also could be caused from the movement of the duck with the slow shutter speed.

Never seen one of these before...Looks like it has a mohawk:p...agree with Dons comments
Nice open beak pose and colors. Does look a little soft to me. There is a flock of these wintering in a marsh near my home, but I can never get close enough for a shot like this.

Nice Bird, but I think the 200SS gave you a bit too much motion blur.
