Light sources: window light, camera flash and table lamp pointed in from the right.
Editing in photoshop: levels, contrast saturation (cant remember what else!)... neat image.

Very nice clarity. The first thing I notice about this shot is the focus and clarity. Very crip and sharp. I like how it brings out the smooth texture of the duck against the texture of the water/bubbles.
Lighting is wonderful. I think it really brings out the color in the duck, the beak and the grapes. There is a bright spot on the ducks beak, but nothing that harms the overall photo.
I like the angle and framing/cropping you chose for this as well. Having the duck off to the side and not shot head on really adds a lot. Definately a lot of visual appeal in this shot, and I can find nothing that I would like to see changed.
Had you been allowed to spot edit for this challenge, I might have removed the small water drop that fell over top the white of his eye, but that is a very minor detail.
Congrats on a great shot. ~Heather~
