Duck, grapes, water, blue background. Everything is definately here.
Lighting appears to be just fine. No bright spots of annoying shadows to be found.
The top 1/2 of the photo is nice and bright with vivid color. I like how the color comes out in the duck and it mixes well with the background.
One suggestion to better the shot would be to do something about the water/glass. Either the glass is dirty, or the water is cloudy. Actually, it looks kind of like what hot water looks like when it comes out of the tap. The cloudyness of the bottom 1/2 is a distraction to the brightness of the top 1/2.
Focus and clarity are really good. I like how we can even see little specks on the grapes. Nice detail.
I wonder if you could have tried different cropping. The centered comp of this seems unexciting. Maybe offset is to one side or another or maybe in one corner? Something that could be played with anyway.
Overall, a cute image, nice color. ~Heather~

How could this duck possibly drown? Maybe, could have been face down in the glass (duck tail up!) But, I did wonder if it's daddy was a Split-Peacock. The lighting and color of the grapes are wonderful.
