Ducking the Wind

It was a cold & blustery early Spring day. The few ducks and one Mute swan I saw were fighting the wind. The pond water had swells I don't usually see. The animal lover in me just wanted to wrap her in a towel and hold her. But, that's not the prudent thing to do. Nature takes care of itself. As it turned out, there was another Mallard hen and Drake just out of my sight. Sir drake was vying for both or either female's attention. I don't know who won, but I headed back to my to warm my frozen fingers!

Sony DSC-RX10M3,, f/4, iso 500, exp bias 0.3, focal length 83.9mm. PP only cropped and slight light/color adjustment.
I'd appreciate any feedback on composition and settings. I'm still figuring out this camera. I was hospitalized most of the Winter which I why I haven't posted or commented here, nor was I able to shoot anything! Thanks so much!

Beautiful, Lori.  I could very well be all wrong, but I think I'd put the duck up just a tiny bit.  It seems a little close to the bottom to me.
