Wonderful striking eyes - pity you couldn't have got right in and done a close crop on them !


p.s. Is it me or does he look slightly drunk ? sliding slowly down the hillside . .

Isn't that funny - there is a brown female mallard in this challenge with brown reflections in the water, and here we have a bright male mallard, with nice bright water and reflections - they're made for each other . .

Nice protective posture by Mum, with little one safely in the middle.

ps - I know being a new mum can be tiring and it's easy to let yourself go a little - but someone really needs to tell her to try shaving . .

Great Blue Lift-off

Nice placing of the Heron in the shot - but the huge lump of wood is just too distracting for me.

Unfortunately the eye naturally gets drawn to brighter areas of an image and you clearly want people looking at the bird and not the wood. One answer would have been to spot edit it and tone it down, so it is still there - just darker.
