I love this composition and creative presentation! This is a wonderful whimsy play on the classic story the Ugly Duckling. Lighting and composition of elements are exceptionally well done. And your choice of subjects was well thought out too! Not only are the three duckys 'shunning' the poor ducky in the forefront by their physical position but they also show it in their expression. They seem to wear an expression of utter distain with their downturned 'smiles'. The expression of the rejected ducky in magnified by the bag/box head he chooses to put on to hide himself. The scene just makes the viewer sympathetic to the poor little ducky. Well done on composing the scene in a pond or lakeside setting. Setting the scene in a natural setting gives it more of an authentic feel. Love your lighting too! Everything is wonderfully illuminated. Coming back to comment and bump up to a 10.
