7 - Had to look close to see if I was looking at a doll - like the rosey cheeks. Nice colors, nice image, different.

Look at that intense gave. Wonderful close up. I also like the matching of the brown of the tree with the dog.

Love the details in the textures. Very nice soft mood you created.

Comment by noraneko:
This definitely fits the challenge very nicely, and is well-focused with overall nice lighting. Some things that maybe could have brought this a higher score - there are a lot of branches, and so it's a little hard to focus on anything specifically. I'm especially distracted by the branches on the left side and small ones coming up from the bottom. I do think you have a very strong background with some nice variations in shades that give depth.

terrific energy from all those lines, like a Pollock painting.

Hmm. I think the shot suffers from being torn between too many subjects. Cropping in one one of the ducks would have changed your story, but probably would've had more impact. And your title would still have fit, pitting the real duck against his reflection.

Have you ever played with soft light layers? I think that technique could have brought out some of the detail in the very dark duck on the left.

My only suggestion would be to someone let us see that last line just a bit more. It's the unifying factor.

this is really very nice. everything works well together, and is more a whole than before. i think i find the paper texture a tiny bit too strong. it's still a great photo.

p.s. I like that you doubled the words. I think you should do that even more overtly.
