I guess the duck is placed directly behind the glass to get those vertically flipped duck heads in the glass. That's a nice effect, but took a while for me to discover when looking at the picture. The immediate impression was that the duck is disturbingly hiding behind the glass and thus everything in the scene is too tightly packed into the center. Otherwise this is excellent - very nice background and lighting.

I love the streams of light. Glad to see natural tones here.

Great lighting choices and composition which causes the eye to move around the frame seeming to understand the image. My only crit is about hiding the duck behind the glass, even cutting of the duck's eye with the glass. Overall, an excellent use of lighting and elements for a cool looking photo.

i think i wouldn't have covered up the duck with the glass, but it's a good shot.

Nice composition, you are going to get a lot of negative comments for not having more blue in the background showing, but I like the overall effect of this photo, good work.

I would have liked to see the duck in front of the stem of the Martini glass ... but I like your thinking here.
