Cute pic. Cute duck!

The focus is a little soft on the duck, but the sidewalk is in great focus! (That's the trouble with focus sometimes!) Don't be afraid to take several pictures of a subject like this one, even switch over to manual focus if need be. You can bracket your focus (take several shots with varying focus, starting out-of-focus-near, and going a bit at a time to out-of-focus-far) -- it doesn't cost anything now that there's no 35mm to develop. :-)

Also, you might try getting down to eye level with a subject this small. I realize you were probably on a busy street, and laying down on the sidewalk might not have been advisable at the time, but setting the cam on the ground and shooting away may have yielded a far different result.

I like it just the way it is. It might need something to jazz it up a bit, but I am not sure what.

I like the image, it just seems a bit washed out to me.

Nice idea, and a great statement. Unfortunately, I don't think that its flash enough, especially considering the way folks vote around here. Nice focus and great exposure. Work on getting the composition a little more off centered in all directions.

The colors are very natural looking. Adding a little bit of contrast might give it more pop, but I think your saturations are fine.

I would suggest some burning along the deep wrinkles of the rhinos skin both to bring out texture and to help seperate the three. Bumping the saturation and contrast would also give this more pop. As is it looks a bit flat.
