Old man needs a tuft of white hair or something. Right now it looks like string glued on or that he did not wipe his mouth after eating. Great concept and composition.
In all of my life I never thought I wouold see what I am looking at now. Cool effect, the only wish I have is that I could see a little more of the "apprentice's" Mullet? (or whatever that hair-do is).
What a cute and very clever idea! I love how you have the Master Ducky sitting on the higher perch for not only is he the wise old elder but it shows his rank. The young apprentice is hard at work with exertion and concentration at he balances rather precariously on a lower perch. I have two critiques on the photo. I like the addition of the smoke/mist for it adds an air of the something 'mystical' happening - the ducky is achieving and getting in tune with his inner chi (I believe that this scenario was played out in a movie of which I cannot remember the title). But the smoke is 'distributed unevenly - the bottom of the pole that the Master rests on is not completely covered like the others. Also there the 'tongue' of smoke on the pole the apprentice balances on looks oddly shaped. I know picky, picky but I really think it would look better if it was more a uniform billowing 'blanket'. The next small critique is that the 'hat' that the apprentice ducky is wearing blends in to much with the background. Either a hat of a different shade or tone of black would make it stand out OR you could do selective editing on the hat to bring up the brightness/contrast or mayhap even gamma. All in all this is a great composition. 8
