The deep sepia obsures the details that are available in this image. By lightening the tone, the detail will emerge and the veiwer doesn't need to work to capture the feel, mood, emotion that should be come easily. (By the way, IMO) The border should either be there or not be there, but not half way in between. This image could have done without it.

I like the shot. Turning the saturation down would suit me a bit more.

Skipping the framing - it emphasizes little imperfections - the house to the right diffuses the impact of this lovely small out building. All in all, it's a beautiful structure.

Nice tone, nice subject. But it's just too centered. Work on the composition a little on this and you could have a really great photo.

Heather,
Wow, I didn't know I was that close to a DQ. I guess I'll have to read the challenge a little closer next time. Its really the Atlantic Ocean on a beautiful day. Thank you for your time and valuable comments.

Very nice crisp image. Focus is great. I like the clarity of the main subject. Bright colors add to the visual appeal of the duckies. Speaking of Duckies, the challenge did call for ONE duck. You got many DQ requests and the SC vote was split decision on weather to DQ or not, so I think you got lucky on this one.
Your strong horizon line is leaning slightly to the right. I don't know if that's a real body of water or a photo of water, but I think that it works well either way with the subjects.
It's hard to take a challenge like this seriously under the circumstances, but you did a very good job (except for the 2 ducks instead of one). I am not sure what the 3 light sources are, but the lighting is very good either way. Very nice set up, fun image and appealing to look at. The border also works well with this shot in my opinion. ~Heather~
