Oh! Bad pun!!! I like it:-) Anyways onto the critique. The composition is clean and simple in its presentation. The concept is executed perfectly - looking at your photo I can hear the five notes that are widely recognized in the Close Encounters soundtrack. Hmm, matter of fact, it might have been a nice subtle nod to the movie and the musical track if you had 5 blue lights instead of the 4 pictured here. I like the white spotlight that shines down on the duck for it makes one think of the light beam that is pictured as beaming up the ab-duck-tee. The only critique I have is that the spotlight creates such a heavy shadow under the beak. Mayhap if you had a smaller spotlight or penlight that you could have shined under the duck's beak it would have greatly reduced the shadow or eliminated it. To wrap up, wonderful composition and great concept: 9

Beautifully composed. The greens may be a bit oversaturated, but I like the overall effect you have created with post-processing.

Lovely long exposure (I'm assuming). Nice soft light.
