 I love how he looked against the abstract water - it's reflections of the reeds.

Though the focus on the bird is a bit soft the warm colors make this special.

At first glance nice, but to really look at it, the area around the wings disturb the eye. 8.

The golden reflections in the water are beautiful and bring out the tones of the duck.

This is one of the nicest pictures of a duck I have seen, I love the water and reflections that surround the duck. Beautiful contrast and dof. The way you have centred the duck is perfect for this shot as the colours compliment each other so well to make him pop right out of the shot. Another work of art in this challenge, good luck!

Nicely composed. I like seeing that orange foot in the water but would really like the eye brought out more.

All of the jewel tones are gorgeous. Wish the eye could have stood out a bit more.

A very nice picture but it would have had more effect if there was a bit more light on the ducks head. I know that's difficult considering the model. Good shot!
