Comment by Rikki:
Back for comments ;) I think this image is clean and simple with very minimal "pop" to it. Therefore I think this will finish in the middle of the pack. My suggestion to "better" the composition si to create an illusion of movement. Had the fern been placed to either the left of right with the curve going the other way, I think this would have been more effective. The softness might also be an issue with this image. A bit of USM and you're set.

Comment by eqsite:
Nice composition and use of natural framing. It's not quite as sharp as I would like it, though. Perhaps because of having to use a longer shutter speed to compensate for the dark lighting. Also, a tighter crop might have helped a little bit. This framing leaves me wondering a little whether this is a landscape with some ducks in it, or a photo of ducks in their surroundings. It is kind of caught in between the two.

Gave this a rather low score the first round, it is a pleasant enough photo, the sky, birds on the pond, silhouette of trees but it still needs that little wow factor we are all so looking for, bumping up a notch

Comment by Melethia:
I can see the style in your picture quite well. It's a little too overbright, though - with a little less light (or processing?) there might be more detail in the leaves and a softer background.
