    #2 is very nice. Love the contrast between blue water(sky...?)/green grass.

    #1 is nice too, but not as much, since there are other distracting birds in the background. The main duck however, shows its blue wing patch.

    You might try setting your subject against a neutral background rather than against the sky. Your second shot has a nice POV but your first looks like you were shooting down onto it, you need to get down on your stomach at the same level as the bird and try to get a background of trees or some other things that are further away so they goes out of focus.
    Keep your sense of proportion by regularly, preferably daily, visiting the natural world.
