Haha, I hate to say it man, but I much prefer that shot! The shadow from the cross in the window frame adds an 'eery' kind of flavour to the mix! I also like the vignette! You know me though... I'm 'an elitest'... so don't listen too close.

The hue from the vignette adds a colder tone to the image, and with a dead duck, I would expect thigns to be cold, and not warm, and full of colour! That's almost a contradicting idea.

I guess it all depends, if you're looking for the satire approach, then I guess the happy/warm tones work, but if you just want to take a picture of a dead duck driven to suicide by the drink, then why not have the cool tone in it?

Great shot nonetheless!
