Hi Tim, I am moving this to the Avian Gallery for you. Although birds are of course wildlife too we post images of birds in a separate Gallery and not in the Wildlife Gallery.
You captured this duck in a nice incoming flight pose. I would darken the BG a bit though and reduce the contrast on the BG a bit. This will putt all the focus on the bird.

Nice shot Tim. I like the landing position of the mallard. Nice habitat too. It is hard to judge the critical sharpness on the bird from the smaller image. Posting the optional larger 1200px image always helps people who are trying to critique, so if you are so inclined I suggest posting a larger version with futher posts. Again nice shot and I look forward to seeing more of your work here in Avian

I love the pose...it has classic ducks unlimited cover written all over it! A larger version would be helpful in critiquing the image, but I agree with Vincent's comment. Composition is excellent! Sharon

Tim,
Great shot. The stop action is compelling.
