Comment by asimchoudhri:
Unfortunately most people didn't seem to see the yellow-streak which represented the duckie floating away. Some commented that the tiny ducks should have been bigger... perhaps if they were absent altogether the yellow streak would have not been as easily overlooked. I actually did not like much of the rest of this shot. I have a bunch of other waterfall shots (such as the image below) that i like much better, but i didn't have a duckie with me on those days, and on the day I did my photo shoot for the challenge I didn't have time to hike the extra 2 miles to get to the prettier part of the river. Maybe I'll be able to compose a better reshoot for a future challenge, or just for myself.

Thank you everyone for the votes and feedback! I look forward to future submissions!!!

I love the quality of the water. I don't love the very very small ducks, and the scrubby stuff at the top corners of the shot.

IMHO...when the challenge calls for rubber ducks they need to play a bigger role in the photo. A nice shot nonetheless.

Yep!... I found!... Three yellow duckyes and a black one?!?... (I'm just trying to say that it's hard to find the main subject in this picture and the composition has too much distracting information). Try to keep only the bottom left quarter of the photo. It should work better. Anyway, good exposition and shutter speed.

Comment by GrayGhost:
Nice long exposure. But the ducks are lost in this image, a closer shot from a lower angle would be better, even a tight crop of this image would be better.

Comment by Blink_Too_Fast:
Took me a few seconds to spot the streak. About right, maybe slightly too long. Something needs to draw my eye to it faster or many will miss it. More intense? Flash freeze at the closing curtain, but block the flash from the water? Who knows...
