A beautiful study, and one that would look perfect framed and on the wall. In my top three for this challenge.

Excellent and timing, and additional marks for showing something of the bird's habitat and behaviour. Bumped to 9.

The Ugly Duckling

Comment:
Ha, a Muscovy Duck - there is a town in England, Ely, where they are almost overrun with these; I believe the original ones escaped from a private collection and they bred, and bred! You have captured the ugliness wonderfully here, and displayed the duck well against the oof background.

Calling it a day.

This is a super capture, and certainly up there in my own personal top 10. The soft sunset palette is very attractive.

I wouldn't have expected a high-key approach to work in this challenge, but your bold exposure and/or processing really does appeal to me.

Amongst my favourite in this strong challenge - the wide depth of field is impressive and contributes hugely to the success of this photograph.

This portrait of Amelia is possibly my favourite photo on the whole of DPC - it is reminiscent of the winning photo from the 2006 Portrait Competition at the national Portrait Gallery. Some time I shall dig the catalogue out and scan the winner to show you. There is nothing about your portrait that could be bettered.

seeing it here in this montage is so funny - she looks so angelic, poised, contemplative, quiet, serene, sensible.... But then you se the outtakes, and you wonder how on earth you ever managed to catch her in that wonderful moment. i love the one in the bottom right where she has rolled her eyes - completely gros, and very funny.

That is just wrong! Apart from looking like the local village idiot, how on earth do you get just one eye to cross? Goofy is the understatement of the year!
Yep, this made me chuckle.
