Very distinctive duck, one of my favorite varieties. I don't think the red is over saturated, and nice separation betwen duck and bg. Also, the feathers are sharp and nicely combed for the portrait. The bokeh is very nice and eyes clear, colorful, and with expression.
All in all, this duck was ready for his session with you!
Excellent portrait, love the color and level of saturation, only nit is would have left more space past the tip of the beak. Never saw one of these, that is a nice representation IMO.
I'm sorry to say that I would personally here either have left it color or gone straight B&W. But I'm sure that's my shortcoming. I can be so traditional.
All I here care about is if it pleases you - then do it. What I think hardly matters...

Thanks for the replies. WoW, think we need to get these guys together lol
Not the prettiest of birds are they but they do make for good photography.
I may have cropped the picture a little too tight? In addition I went selective I guess to emphasise the black and white feathering and to really show off the bright red bill.
Looks like a grey haired old man.
