Taken by a pond at a local University. There were a bunch of baby ducks. For some reason, this pose made me think the baby duck was feeling very successful. Maybe dreaming of flying.

First Impression - the most important one: You got the cute vote .. I can tell by the comments. This is sooooooo cute it ain't funny.
Composition: is a lovely shot but very centred ... which is a minor for this shot.
Subject: meets the challenge and does so in a cute and fuzzy way.
Technical (Colour and light): i really like this ...it is reasonbly dark which has been picked up by some commentors, but I don't see this detracting from the natural shot.
To grow its vote?: Take it from another angle .. front on capture the look from the eyes ... hehehe (I think you did well with a nature shot)
Summary: Great work ... fantastic capture.

Adorable! I love this one. Although I think lightening it up would help it out - check out the levels in photoshop - seems to be leaning pretty heavily to the left.
