Duckie

I like the water but the duck appears to have a little focus issue but I believe thats due to brightness/contrast. Perhaps trying a -5 on the brightness and up the contrast +5 would change this photo's appearence.

For this photo I think I would have tweaked down the brightness and up'd the contrast a little bit. A beautiful shot with lots of great colors. A shot you can sit and stare into never seeing the same thing twice. Amazing reflection but the rock? at the bottom is distracting. Well done.

For night shooting you MUST use a tripod. You will get almost no camera shake and the focus will be a lot better.

I think this would have been better a little brighter and with less contrast. The focus appears to be a little off as well but that could just be this monitor. I do like the way you've managed to capture all the people in stop motion. Well done.

Bird (seagull?)

Comment:
focus is off and the subject lacks interest. I do however like the color of the bird but not the choice in DoF.

Ewwww What a stink!

One of the least popular birds in my opinion and always uner rated. It is well composed and nice choice in DoF. It appears to be a little to oversharpened and looks odd against such a blured background (almost as if it were over-edited). The bird has a uniqueness to it that not a lot of other birds have in this challenge. Good luck in this challenge.

I like the greenish/yellowish hue to the water and find it compliments the bird very well. Excellent colors and clarity and te photo is fantastically crisp. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <9>

I would have liked to seen more sky in this photo. I think it would have added a lot to it. Instead of a square image you'd have a more appealing image. The brown goes extremely well against the grey sky but the ruffled feathers from the wind gives it an OoF appearence. I also find there to be to much glove but that could have been corrcted with more sky. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

I like the one word title and find it fits this photo very well. This shot reminds me of a "motivational" photo that bosses usually have hanging on their walls at the office. Excellent clarity and color and the bright light from above adds a little more mystery to the bird. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
