This is amazing, EJ. The wood duck is excellent in pose and color, and the light and water color are absolutely fantastic. Congrats.

Nicely done. I always like a bird in the shade with an illuminated background.
If not against your ethics I would evict the 2 white spots and little line behind the tail.
Blacks are a bit choked and I would select the drake and increase brightness or exposure slightly. You could also try a bit of Detail extractor in Color Efex Pro,
