This should have ribboned. It is a shame that some of the people voting on DPC can not get their heads out of the little box they live in and really look at a photo and understand it before they decide to give it a very low score. 15 votes below a 4 and still managed to make the top 5. That tells me that alot of people here have no idea what they are doing.

Anyway Congrats on the 4th place and even more so on taking an outstanding photo.

That's quite a hairdo! I feel like greens are a little over saturated... not just in the blades of grass, but also in the feathers and beak.

The other oof duck in the background really makes the composition IMO. 7 from me.

What's going on with it's head? I've never seen anything like that. Anyway, excellent portrait.
