Very good duck picture, but doesn't scream "country life".

Comment by Kivet:
there are some weird squiggly lines on the left side, corner. The sticks are a little distracting as well. I like the subject.

This si a great still-life study of the lamp but is not quite abstract. For abstract we're expecting to see interesting shapes and colours but not be able to tell what they are.

Comment by Melethia:
While maybe not what some would see as "abstract", it does show a "different perspective" on a common element. Might like to see the tip of the upper right bulb for a bit more balance.

Technically not a bad picture, but not very abstract

Comment by thegrandwazoo:
The head feathers seem way blown out and to me that stick/branch going from the the Eagle to the right side of the image is distracting.

What a spectacular moment to have captured. Good job. Much to improve however as bird photos are very tough to get right. The white is very over-exposed as all detail is lost. Try to meter on just the white areas and then stop down a little. Also sharpness could be improved as the detail in the feathers has been lost. Stick with it and I'm sure you will be rewarded with a treasure.
