Nicely converted but the lighting is not ideal - if the duck's face had been brought out more it would have made a big difference I think. The lighting conditions were obviously very harsh and I think you have done well out of that situation. Unfortunately whilst contrast is shown, the concept of dichotomy is unexplored and the score will suffer as a result.

...or, the contrast of Photoshop added to a Mallard...
Gotta get those eyes to pop though.

So lovely... and unique, that your subject isn't what is showing the dichotomy. 10.

A little dark but still a cool shot.
