The placement of the duck in the lower right corner works, and properly shows it in its natural habitat. The photo is let down though, by a lack of detail in the duck itself and the blocking out of the deep shadow areas. You may have been able to get a better photo by moving down to the same level as the duck, rather than by taking it from above.
