That is one of the most beautiful shots of this duck that I have ever seen, but bad execution of the picture. You really should have taken it at another time or angle so you only had this one bird in the shot, with or without the lake behind him. If you couldn't get that you should have left the whole duck in the background. You cut his head off. If it was for size you could have cut some off in front of the big bird - anything to keep from cutting the head off. Preferably, without the other one at all, unless it was the other sex and would have shown the differences in their heads. Sorry that you ruined a really great top notch photo. I'd like to copy it and cut the other bird out totally, with dpc unacceptable work. Any objection, other than to my score of 6. PTL
I wish you had been able to get the entire head of the back goose into the shot. Otherwise, it's a very nice photo. Clarity and focus are both nice. Lighting might be just a tad harsh on the front gooses neck, and the back goose, near the water. Nice shot. good luck in the challenge. ~Heather~
Would have liked to see more depth to the pic. It's pretty flat, and the pooped on concrete isn't really an appealing background. Is this PJ? I don't really know, but I'm not voting on that this week. Quality only, and you get a 5. Good luck in the challenge! nards656
The poor bird in the background had his head chopped off. This is a great photo, but it should have either incorporated all of both birds or just the foreground one. I like the "looking-down" angle. muckpond
