I would mask out the flying bird in the source image by the ducks beak as it now distracts from the new layout. The bandanna on the ducks head is a great laugh but is difficult to recognise at first. Make sure that you blend the edges of any cloned areas as I can see the bounding box edge [left side of duck's chest] of the sky portion used to hide the original character. Only other critique would be to blend the edge of the duck's wing in the background so that the edge isn't so defined.
Looking better now after the edit.
Congratulations with your first gold, bee!
