I thought this was a hard enough image to look at, to be honest. I think the lack of a proper division between the two images is what makes it feel off to me.
Definitely tells a story, but it really needed your notes to complete it (you can't really expect us to do research when voting!). I could see this in a nature magazine or something. Still, my head feels fuller after reading your comments and notes, so thanks :-)

Courtship of the Ring-necked Ducks

Comment by Skip:
One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Nice shot. Doesn't really grab me emotionally, though.

This is a nice shot but I prefer that the sky not be so over exposed.
