Focus and exposure seem off.

the water looks very cool, but the focus on the subjects is too soft.

The ducks are in symmetry :-) Good idea with this shot.

There's just too much going on in this photo. It's hard to find one thing to let your eye kinda settle on, yet it's not a relaxing movement photo that you want your eye to keep wandering over.

The floaters are quite distracting. Subject is good though.

I don't know if it's because of the falling snow, but it appears that the focus is too soft. I do however, like the composition and natural colors.

Nice approach to the challenge-- I like the strong colors in this shot. However, it seems to be suffering from too-soft of focus, in my opinion.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what caused all the white dots all over the picture. They are really annoying.

Looks like fun. A floating log empty bottle of wine and the bird. Nice picture.
