great shot! how'd you get so close to a (duck?) I don't think the BG out-of-focus adds interest as much as makes the portrait.

Nice but I don't like the quality of the edges.

What a lovely perspective. The picture would benefit from the main subject being in focus - especially around the eye and beak instead of the top of its head (was he moving too fast?!). The bokeh is a nice background for this subject.

As it's basic editing , you should have been more careful with the choice of the different elements and the composition : the cloth under the wineglass , the background with wrinkles , the distracting reflects on the glass (from a window I suppose).
The idea is good , I like the decorated glass but you should have prepared better the set up.

Don't like the background too much, but that's just me.

Greetings from the Critique Club Noella!

At first glance I find the shot to be creatively funny. The look on his face is priceles and I think that this was a great idea.

A couple of things that I think might improve the shot. I sort of understand the tight crop here but you went a bit far with his head and the plate of money. Leaves a sense of incompleteness on the image. Also, the DOF here calls for a smaller aperture (around f8 or so) as it gets a bit of a blur on his left hand and face. Sometimes a shallow DOF is needed but with the hands being a major part of the composition here I think you need both in focus.

Overall a good effort Noella.

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image!

Cheers - Phil

This could be improved, if it was sharper in fosus...

This lacks "Wow" factor.
