Dan,
A sweet image, these girls always look so Happy It's as if they are smiling. excellent exposure and I really like the water drops, adds greatly to the image!
Dan

very nice eye contact and good light, the tail is too close to the right border, consider adding space there

Cute little duck, Dan, and nicely done. Water beads are a plus. Agree about maybe just a bit more on right.
Well done on all counts, but for the fact as noted first by Arash that that stiff-tail is just about touching the frame edge.
