Ordinary snapshot here ... nothing unique or creative to grab my attention here. Doesn't have the feel of an image that had a lot of thought put into it either beforehand, or while out trying to capture the subject. 4

Good but should have a shorter focal point. Blur the background and foreground to highlight more the detail of duck. Needs to be cropped with bird a little higher up.

you said it yourself, composure is everything but i don't think this has been composed particularly well as there is too much dead space around the duck. Perhaps zooming in a little closer or actually trying to get physically closer would have drawn the attention more to the duck itself.
