Great color...like the (lily pads?) too!

8 - Very nice capture. Good stop motion. Criticism; difficult, the lily pads more OOF or sharper (difficult), and maybe a fraction more space above the duck (dependent of course) - and I want to say sharper, even 'more' stop motion, but very difficult, plus I am sure that this size doesn't show the detail larger does. Coloring, on the duck especially, very good. Perhaps a variation in cropping. Not sure on the frame. Up to 8 from 7.

A ribbon-winner for sure. Good luck!

Beautiful head and colored wing catch
Post actions
Wow - this looks like a winner. The clarity on the duck (I assume it's a duck) is amazing. Excellent color, crispness and composition. Well done. And a fave.
Post actions
wow, great capture, the colors of the duck's wing really is set off by the lilly pads. Good focus and DOF. i wouls have liked to see him a bit less cramped up in the corner on the framing, but you get what you get with birds on the wing and this one is a honey. Top ten.
Post actions
Wonderful combination of flora and fauna, good colors, shapes, sharpness, DOF, and composition. I especially like the curves of the wings, wing position, feathers, and lilly pads.

I'm so jealous! A beautiful bird in a lovely location with perfect focus and DOF. You have caught this spot on. Certainly a 10 from me.
Post actions
Fantastic shot! The complimentry colors of the bird's wing and the leaves really add to it. I only wish the background were either a bit more blurry or a little more in focus.
Post actions
What a beautiful duck. I like how well the colors of the bird go against the green background. I gave it a 10.
Post actions
One of the last ones I voted on. I'm glad I did. Amazing shot! 10

One of my top three. Great focus on the parts that need it ... the head. And the lily pads add a colour to the picture that take from good to very good.

Whoah! Could you have captured a more perfect pose???? I don't think so! Talk about being in the exact right position, at exactly the right time. Beautiful sharpness. Color. Fantastic job.
Post actions
absolutely beautiful. nice work.

Gorgeous bird. Love the detail on the wing. I like the background but would like to see the pic with the background a bit more muted, maybe.

Excellent shot. IMO one of the best in this challenge and sure to finish up near the top
Post actions
I find the brightness of the green is distracting. Otherwise good shot.
Post actions
This is sublime and perfectly captured. The colors are rich and lush, and the intense expression on the goose (I think its a goose...I know for sure it isn't a deer or a squirrel) adds to the overall effect. Good luck.
Post actions
Captured the grace and beauty of the bird very well here. Lilly pads are a bit distracting but are necessary to clarify just where the bird was found.

Great shot. Love the colors and the selective sharpness!

may be a TAD oversaturated, but may not be, colors just look TOO good, LOL good luck, and think this is a ribboner LOL

Very nice. I might have preferred a slightly more shallow DOF, but a very nice catch.
