good eye for repeating colors and comp; nice job pulling detail out of the shadowed wall.

Hey Bear, nice processing and detail, including picking out those fishermen down on the rocks below. I really like the way you pulled the texture out on the water -- that light gave me problems, so I went a different direction on my entry. (no vote, comment only)

rotation doesn't work for me; too many confusing lines, lacks an effective subject

Nice scene; a bit over the top on the processing for me, not sure if its oversharpening or oversaturation but just doesn't look right to me.

mea culpa! I was wrong. I looked at this a long time before voting, and even googled a few wood duck pics to be sure (surely wrong, as it turned out). I had you at a 7 before I lowered my vote, so cost you a spot in the challenge. At least now you have an explanation for one of those low votes. Sorry. Made the pic a fave to make it up to you ... and to remind me of my mistake. :)
