Howdy neighbor,
It looks like an argument that got physical.
I like the mallard but you should've been closer and lower
But what do I know..?

Wow!! two more long Islanders.

Picture #! is by far the best. Just a tade too much crop. It would have been just that much better if the wing wasn't clipped. Also the attacking bird looks a little soft.

Picture #2 could use a tighter crop so that both of the wood stakes are equally the same distance from their respective edge.

Picture #3 The tail feathers were clipped, and the focus us somewhat soft, which hurts your composition.

Picture #4 is doesn't have a defined subject. The horizon runs right through the center. Also that over hanging branch really hurts your overall composition.
