Comment by BikeRacer:
I liked this shot during the challenge but a couple of elements didn't work for me. While I liked the lighting and the glow from under the duck/water, the out of focus/flarey nature of the bottom blue frame was distracting for me. I liked your choice for DoF but found the actual focal point hard to find because of the smooth surfaces -- the red might have been the culprit here, maybe the duck head just seems fuzzy to me because of the lighting. I didn't love the crop or the composition - centered shot, duck centered in bowl/frame.

I voted this a five - a pretty high score for this challenge from me.

Prefer the other clearer study with the glass and fork. Sorry.

Ok, but I do my own post processing!
