Nice idea!

It would be better if you made cooked duck on a plate with a hammer in its broken teeth, but this is a nice idea too.

Looking at lighting source, your shadows must be a little darker, and run to the left. Duck has a fine white outline that you must take off...

A cormorant isn't a duck.

try to fix the shadows...

Create few more layers for better blending...with this light my advice is:first dark blue overlay layer,second,dark brown color layer and then maybe,but just maybe gold color or soft light layer.Of course play with opacity...just an idea author...good luck

funny idea

Lots of sources mean lots of work, I admire that. I noticed the duck has a halo around it. A quick fix is to ctrl click on the layer to select it. Then go to select/modify/contract. You will only need a couple of pixles. Then just inverse your selection and hit delete. Good luck.
