I'm not sure whether it's holding something in its beak, or what that is. It might be a droplet of water.

Nice photo, although I would have given the duck some more room on the right of the frame. This gives her a little more "breathing space".

Judging by the colours, I guess you had turned on AWB (Auto White Balance), which is usually horrible for vivid colours. Try setting your camera to the daylight or cloudy setting, and see what it does to the colours.
