Thanks for the comments guys, I have to say the colours came out really well, and also I am quite happy with the sharpness I got aswell. In realation to making the beak pop more, I actually did look at it but it nearly made the duck look unreal due to the vibrance of the green, and background blur is exactly as shot. Finally since the image was taken in Auto mode I cant do anything with the exposure really.

Dude

You did a good job of capturing this

I think a little more photoshop work would make it very strong

1. the back f his head, maybe do a little more work with an extra high exposure from the raw

and i would be tempted to push the saturation on the beak a little just to make it pop a little more

have you done some background blurring in photoshop to this image?? as there is a little bit of a halo around the beak.

Cool pic, love the green. I am surprised he is not in some way mutated if he lives on the canal though. No shopping trolley growing out of his head or anything…..
