Very nice and great exposure... looks like he is trying to stop himself going downhill, perhaps a slight CW rotation?

Like it a lot - lots of personality in this pic.

Perfect exposure and good to see you have captured the bottle-green irridescence on the head. Nice action and pose that gives real weight to the shot

I like this too, might be good on a birthday card "Go on - give us a hug".

Ducks can look stupid somtimes. This un looks like it wants to be a conductor (music, not electrical, although I bet roasted they taste ok).
