This duck sure wasn't lame, but my entry was a little - thanks for the comments, some good suggestions there which I did try, including the tight crop, but for this medium looked too 'elongated'..

I like the water action, good job. Would like to see it a bit closer though.

A beautiful background, it took a while for my eyes to find the bird but when I found him the picture works well

Consider trying this with different, rather extreme crop. Cut off the upper portion of the photo just above the group of lily pads with the solo purple blossom. This would result in a narrow, horizontal look that would emphasize the "runway" on the water.

what a fun picture. Not quite sharp all around but fun. Also, it would be better if there were more space in front of the duck so the subject is moving into the frame and not leaving teh frame.

Good action capture - almost looks a bit like a crash landing!
