I would have liked to see more color. Perhaps some adjustment in post-processing with saturation would boost the blues in the water.

Composition way too centered for my taste but otherwise, not bad at all. Still needs something to really make it shine, perhaps next time you could try a polarizer to decrease the reflection in the water to try and bring some depth into the texture of the water? Just an idea anyway. Good job but not great either, would have ranked it higher if you had cropped away the bottom and right side and placed the duck according to the rule of thirds but I still gave it a 6 like it is, nice capture.

A crop with more neg space in front of the subject would rate higher with me. 7

Comment by BAMartin:
This is a great idea, but the execution would have been better if the bird was not quite so centered in the frame. Still an excellent shot

Comment by hughletheren:
Maybe I would have preferred the main subject off centre but an excellent action shot, focussing the attention on the subject.

would have loved to see the bird not centered in frame...in left or right third, perhaps? very nice reflection.. 7

Comment by neophyte:
alot of potential here. Great comp that would lend itself well to text. However, It needs a larger piece or more emphasis on it as I'm really not sure what you're trying to sell. Great photo and lighting.

Nice idea...let the earring stand out against the darker areas of the image. I would like to see a bit more of the jewelry. Perhaps crop most of the face and some of the shoulder out... Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.
