That would be quite the surprise on the duck, no?

A good idea and excellent capture but the pigdon is already past the duck from what I can see so the element of surprise is kinda lost to me. And the water seems almost too sharp as does the duck, it has a very sharp line around it on my monitor and I can't quite place my finger on it but the colors seem just too bright for some reason. A 6

I like the composition, but I think you added too much contrast to the photo.

Interesting take. Appears that the mallard is a bit over-exposed though.

Nice action shot. Is there really an attack pending, or was the closeness of the two birds coincidental. Either way, it's a great catch.
