Duck Family at Sunset

Comment by dahkota:
Hmmm... I'm wondering if cropping this off at the water line would improve it for me. Yep, I would like it better without the distracting building in the back. It draws my attention away from the ducks and the great reflections on the water. Other opinions may differ - take mine with a grain of salt. As it is, this looks like two separate images stuck together. I think the bottom alone would be inifintely stronger without the top.

I love reflection shots. On this one, I would prefer not to have included that tree trunk on the left side. It steals attention and in my opinion adds no real value to the photo.
I'd also try increasing saturation on this one just a bit.

Interesting twist on the darkness theme. Looking into the cup of black coffee is like looking into the darkness of and overworked life that just repeats itself over and over every day. It is a certainty that many voters will NOT see the darkness in this image. The simplicity and perspective of this image is it's strength.

A bit grainy. Higher speed may have improved the grain.

Well composed. Little too grainy IMO.
