I'm pretty happy with this picture but would like some expert feedback :p Anything I could have done differently?

Great color capture. Love the detail and creaminess (only way I can think to describe it) of the body feathers. Beautiful bird!

I would like for the duck to be on the right side of the picture. His feet are pointing him out of the shot regardless of what the top part of the bird is doing because I'm not sure the bird knew.

The right side has too much empty dead space that adds nothing.

Would have liked a little more room under his feet, kind of like there is above his head. Feels a little too crowded for me.

See if you can bring down the blown out rocks.

Would love to see more of this duck, very pretty.

I see what you mean, the positioning of the duck on the left was due to the fact that there was a concrete wall (nothing attractive!) to the left of it and hence opted to eliminate it from the image.
