Has a impression of being over-sharpened, as though to negate the effects of slightly too slow an exposure, but the freezing of the water in motion suggests otherwise - perhaps too tight a crop on a small image, or something similar? Lacks the immediate sharpness of a real pop image, although its a great moment to capture for all that.
Oh, this is good! If it doesn't ribbon it's only because it could stand a bit of cropping to center attention even closer on those cavorting ducks/swans! 10
Fabulous moment! Now if only you'd have cropped it a little closer, getting rid of the distractions on the far right and upper left corner, it'd be a 10
A wonderfully whimsical image, but my interpretation of the contest was to go someplace you've never been to photograph a subject you've never photographed. This is more a picture of something that's new (a baby animal). I have a feeling you've been to this place before, and photograhed this subject matter before.
