Wood ducks always seem so striking. The nice reflections make me wish for a composition without the ones standing on the ice.

Cropping away the upper part with that harsh blown out white area would make this a lot easier on the eyes and take us more directly to the subjects. I would expect some low votes beaucse this seems to lean heavily on the title to connect to the challenge topic.

Interesting contrast between the soft moonlit clouds and the harsh angular urban structures.

Elegant and subtle, great use of trees for detail and interest. I'm really enjoying the soft colors in the clouds.

Blue Moon Over The Mat-Su

Orange and blue work well together. Foreground contrast helps a lot. I'll be interested in seeing just how big a lens it took to get this.

Sorry about the mystery letter, which appears to have been an inadvertent slip of the fingers.

The spikes of frost make this look at first glance like a cactus in winter. Interesting to have a bit of residual green along with the muted red. The composition seems a bit static dead center. A shift of position to put the branch more toward the diagonal might lend a more dynamic feeling (but I don't know what you had to work with).
