I love the reflections in the water but your mallard seems unreal..no reflection from him and not a feather out of place..very neat and regid while the water flows beautifully.
your main subject is the duck, but there are reflections in the water, not quite sure what they are reflections of, but they are there, and that was the requirement. The duck is cute. I like the angle and the framing/cropping on this. Focus and clarity are also ok. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
I spent a week tryng to get chickens to hold still so this shot REALLY impresses me. The colors are wonderful, esp. the yellow bill and yellow in the water. 10
