I love each photo, but the two smaller ones are not working for me as part of the overall composition. I guess it is because I want to see that beautiful mallard with the back lighting up close :) I don't get the idea that this was all one scene from these three shots. That might not have been your goal, but it seems like it should be (to tell the story of these ducks in 3 photos).
Feels all to familiar to me! The lake outside my house has been frozen now since mid-December and likely won't thaw until April/May! Aside from that, I like what you did with the triptych, nice idea.
Looks more like PA than NC.. crazy weather! I guess the waterfowl are wondering what's going on too! This is an interesting composite.. it tells a story and is nicely done.
Been plenty cold almost everywhere this year. Looks absolutely frigid in this shot. Very nice inset images of the ducks! I'm glad that this brought some memories from so long ago.
I've only seen it freeze like this one other time in my life -- when I was in first grade (31 years ago).
Must be global warming! haha.
About the photo though. Interesting set up on the tryptych. Really love the dual colors here. The duck looks naturally desaturated and it would have been nice to get some of the white snow or had the blue water in there so the inset images matched the dual colors of the main image. The white feathers work pretty good for that. Overall, very cool and goes well.
