Het Duck, not bad at all. 1st of all, you almost got the foot centered. Your fine front to back, but side to side, your foot needs to slide farther to his left side. Put a straight edge up to the screen in the center of the bird. Notice that the nail of the middle toe is in the center. But for the foot to be centered, the area between the 1st joint of the middle toe and the heel should be on that line. You may need to cut a larger relief cut for the leg to recess into. Also, push the neck farther into the clavicle area. He’s a little long. The wings look a little high. See the bump of the scaps? Needs to flatter. Pull them over and down the wing more towards the sidepockets. Also the skin looks pinched under the jowls. Make sure your relief cut is deep enough in the head. Keep at it.
