Even a MANLY Man can have a playful side! O.K. the model is pure eye-candy for us ladies I admit but I also really like the concept you present here in this shot. I look at this handsome man with all his flexed muscles - a symbol of a strong man - and the I see this rubber ducky resting on his shoulder which symbolizes his playful, whimsical side. To me, it expresses that everyone has an inner child and some are not afraid to show it. The only thing that would help strengthen that concept/symbolism is if the model was smiling. He seems too serious.

ducky and right side of face had needed a little more light IMO, while the other half seems to be too bright - 7

One of the best exposed ducky shots. No pun intended. (Just realized that could be taken totally wrong.)

I guess I don't really see this as being stupid. I'm sure if I was there, I'd think it was.

To make this photo better, I would like to see the subjects looking toward the camera instead of off to the right like they are.

Also, I find the people in the background to be a bit distracting. This has a big snapshot feel to it.

The colors are pretty good, but I'd like to see the whites be really white.

Hope this helps you in some way.

Thanks for your vote on my challenge entry , but I am not sure what Filter you mean ? There is no Photoshop filter used on this picture it's a manual motion zoom with a long exposure!
