FIRST IMPRESSION The premise of this photo is quite funny and the photo conveys that sense of fun.
COMPOSTION: The use of diagonal lines works marvelously: the diagonal line connecting the lines of sight of the subjects and the diagonal line of blue light. The setup does raise the question about whether Mr Ducky is really welcome, the door seems to be closed - perhaps Mr. Ducky will have to climb in through the window? Somehow, it looks like a long way up and there are no steps. Good thing Mr. Ducky can fly!
LIGHTING; The lighting is very interesting, but it is easy to be of two minds about it. I find the bright strip of light interesting, and I find its reflection on the Ducky Home to be quite attractive. On the other hand, when reflecting off Mr & Mrs. it looks a little eerie and menacing. I also find the Mr Ducky's tail is lit much better than Mrs Ducky's face, and that bothers me. There is a nice balance between well-lit subjects and shadow spaces which makes the subjects pop out.
PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE: The image is fairly crisp and clear without noise. The camera angle is effective. There is just about enough DOF, although Mrs Ducky is noticably more fuzzy than Mr. Ducky.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: It is a humorous photo, carefully taken. The novel use of light adds interest, but there are some possibilities for improvement in lighting and focus.
