I would prefer the image to be a little brighter. I don' know if it was post porcessing causing the vignetting or the lighting itself, but the image is a bit too dark. You may also want to clone out the flash above the birds beak and the belly as it is a little distracting.

This would make a great print to put up in a child's room, or a ducky themed bathroom.

Great capture of the splash. Not crazy about the yellow for the background though.
