One Duck

Comment by LindaLee:
Honestly, I've taken tons of duck pics, and they just never "do" anything for me. This, however, is really nice. I just love the crispness of the duck next to the beautifully smooth and silky water. The highlights on the water really give it a feeling of movement as well.

Actually, I think it is the composition that lets this down!

It is not quite centred (not necessarily a good or bad thing) neither does it comply with the rule of thirds.
I think more of the still water and less of the rippled would make this much nicer...

I love the silkiness of the water, and how it seems to flow like satin in waves behind the duck. Nice capture.

excellent, nice compo ... great light, sharp enough for looking at the screen, cool reflection ... i would vote it 6 or 7 if the challenge theme is "ducks" :-)

One of my favourite 7 images. Really like the vibrant colour, especially the lime green and bright blue, though these two colours only sing out because of the white and dark green/ black of the clouds and woods. Composition is just perfect with the low, low horizon and the huge expanse of sky, with the centred woods and the mainly low sitting clouds with just one lonely one at the top. Just wonderful.

The bold composition works well - the little whispy cloud at the very top balances thephoto perfectly. Very good work.

Beautiful - I especially love the one little puff of cloud at the top. Great shot, a ten for me.
