Good thing ducks do not use human standards for sexual attraction, or there would not be any ducks, at least not of this variety.
Good sharp image, and it did meet the challenge criteria well.

Excellent exposure, DOF, and focus. Unusual angle for being at a zoo. I like the little feathers on her head. Not too many people take pics this good of the hens, usually it is the bright males that get in the pics.
Good job!

I am ready to go back to the Bahamas. The surf and those Aussie pines make the sweetest sound when the breeze blows.

That rugged little tree really stands out against the cobalt sky in this one. This makes me want to go there someday. It just looks like an outstanding kind of day to be alive and outside.

I really like the way the clouds seem to spread from the horizon from directly behind the tree out into the top corners of the image. That is a tough looking little tree.

My attention goes straight to the surf rolling in on the horizon in this image. The tan shore against the blues of sky and water make this pleasing to see.
I find it odd that I rarely notice borders on pics unless I see something about it in the comments with the pic. It happened with this one. I enjoy images with small details on the horizon and spotted around within the image. This one has that quality.

The sun peeking out, with the way the limbs are all pointing to it, make the layout in this pic very strong.
Without the sun, it would just seem to be a pretty snapshot, but with the sun it is just sweet. It's a very calming image to look at for me.

Tired old houses show the end result of the battle of humans against nature.
Nice capture, and it connects with my emotions about who lived there and how or why they left the place.
