Looks like it was tricky to expose but there seems to be detail in the blacks and the left hand side of the head stripe is just about there on my laptop screen. Is the middle bit in the beak its tongue or the back end of a meal? Only nit is the composition - is a little central for me
Where did you take this as its not native to the UK or Europe, We get them here in winter, A lower point of view would have given the image more impact,The pose is a bit odd but that makes it different from the norm, I hope to get some of these soon

lower pov would have been impossible

Nice shot Joe
Is that an escaped bird then ? I'm not into my ducks !
The thing in the mouth certainly looks odd - looks like its eating a stick !
Cheers
