Comment by Teafran:
A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

I love these birds. They look so innocent when they are waddling up to you hoping you have bread to feed them -- but when they spread their wings to fly, they are so majestic! This is really a pretty photo of this one.

Although there are no halos here, I still think that you could have held back a little on the sharpening, just a very little mind you. I would also suggest a little neat image on the background only.

A lovely clean shot of this mallard, with plenty of room for it to fly in to.

Another highly detailed and technically perfect image, although it would do with a little more cropping on the right - that would be a personal choice however and as it is, it's wonderful. Beauty, grace and style in a motion capture that would is the envy of many photographers. An image suitable for Aududon in any format. Well done.

Usually I'm not a big fan of the horizon cutting right through your main subject. Here is looks good, like an extension of the lines of the duck. Very well done.
