I had few photos to choose from for this challenge, I chose this one..
..probably the worst decision that I've made here on dpc. But hey, it was at 4 am (here in Iceland) and at the last minute, I even tried to replace it, but I was too late..
..not that I'm not happy with this image, it just doesn't fit here on dpc.. but on the other hand it's always interesting to upload something different here and see how the dpc mass likes it or if somebody likes it..

Since my newly discovered appreciation for blur, I absolutely love it! I love those soft blues and the way the duck looks so dreamy. I love the reflection.
But they were pretty unmerciful on this weren't they :( I wonder if it would score differently now, since lately it seems alot more acceptalbe -- even trendy -- to use blur in photography. There's even an article about it in Outdoor Photography this month.
Yeah, I guess blur doesn't go over well in challenges around here :-) But it is perfect for this side challenge! I love the pale blue color and the swirling motion of the water, it is very pretty!
I honestly don't care for the blur effect in this image. It overpowers the subject. My taste, so take it for what its worth. Good luck in the challenge!
I am not one of those that automatically mark down an image for not being tack sharp and in focus, I normally like these kind of shots but this one doesn´t really do anything for me. I mean no offense but it just needs to be more interesting to work, some kind of motion going on or something else than the duck just sitting there. Also the composition is a bit too centered for my taste. Good job though and I like the idea, just not the execution this time, by all means keep up the experimentation.
