I have to ask: What the heck happened to his head????. Cranial gigantism indeed!
That aside, it would be nice if the duck was on the right hand side of the frame and thus swimming INTO the picture rathen than out of it. The way this is currently composed all I see is duck and duck-reflection. Everything else is a distraction rather than complementing your subject.
You could also make this a bit stronger by cropping off everything below the reflection.
In terms of how it meets the challenge? Not especially strong but I won't disagree that ducks are good.
