Dawn, its so nice to see you back in a challenge again :) With one of my favorites animals ever. This is beautiful! Such a tough challenge to have such a beautiful photo in! Probably would have been high 6's in another challenge!

Though the focus on the bird is a bit soft the warm colors make this special.

At first glance nice, but to really look at it, the area around the wings disturb the eye. 8.

The golden reflections in the water are beautiful and bring out the tones of the duck.

This is one of the nicest pictures of a duck I have seen, I love the water and reflections that surround the duck. Beautiful contrast and dof. The way you have centred the duck is perfect for this shot as the colours compliment each other so well to make him pop right out of the shot. Another work of art in this challenge, good luck!

hmmm, blurry dark duck. Delete this one. Clearer and lighter is the key

Nicely composed. I like seeing that orange foot in the water but would really like the eye brought out more.

Focus is off. I'm sure that's been noted.
