This looks like a beauty on this laptop's screen. Looks like you captured good detail and pose. Maybe just a bit, slight bit, of a tight crop? Still looks fine to me!

On my large and calibrated monitor the mallard looks heavily noise reduced and over-sharpened. Suggest staying at ISO 800 and below the next time.

I agree with Phil, it looks slightly over worked. Perhaps that's why you didn't post a large version. Also wondering why you cropped out the head reflection.

The mallard drake is a handsome bird. Both bird and water are beautiful, unfortunately something seems to have gone amuck in the processing, as the image appears flat and lacking in detail on my monitor as well. I would like to see a bit more room at the bottom, his foot is visible under the water (nice touch) but the toes are very close to the edge of the frame.
