Cute little duck - wish he were just a touch sharper (in better focus) and we had a bit more eye contact. Nice contrast with the green. No vote, comment only

Blue Ice at the Mackinac Bridge
by Drake

Comment:
That's some serious ice! This looks a bit flat to me - I think it maybe could have benefited from a bit more processing (or a different time of day), but it's certainly an interesting subject. No vote, comment only

Hungry Purple Galinule

Comment:
I love the bird and the curve of its neck. I feel like a tighter crop (especially some taken off the top) would have helped give this a bit better balance. Very interesting photo and nice capture. No vote, comment only

A Mothers Love
by Beaubeau

Comment:
This is some outstanding post processing! I imagine this was maybe a bit messy, but the use of the filter on the leaves draws the viewer to the birds, which are undoubtedly a great capture. Nice lighting as well. No vote, comment only

Back for a second look. Hope this ribbons.

Frozen
by Alex_Petrini

Comment:
This has a lot of potential, but I feel like the time of day and direction of the light are not working in your favor. It has a bit of a flat feel despite the obvious depth in the hills. A clear area of interest would also help - without a focal point it's hard to know where to look; my interest is not drawn to particular area. No vote, comment only

Moth

Comment:
Hmmmm. I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, the butterfly looks a bit flat. On the other hand, the whole photo is artistic, so the processing is clearly deliberate. I enjoy out of the box photos, so appreciate this entry. No vote, comment only

Creating Waves

I like the splash and think this is a good capture, but I feel the coxswain (I think that's what the woman in the front is called) is in an awkward position. I realize she's likely giving the crew instructions, but it almost looks like she's falling over. No vote, comment only
