I think we Canadians can spare a few... shall we direct them your way? Nice lighting on the pair.

The face looks different from the ones we have here. I often see them sitting out of the water, perched like this.

Comment by doremi:
It looks as though it's about to sing... maybe it was paying attention to the game!

Comment by JamesDowning:
Great templistic structure, and a solid image. Though, I'm not a huge fan of the anti-vignette at the bottom left and right.

I think this would have worked even better cropped in half, just to the right of the middle guy, without the house in the bg.

Comment by RyanW:
Seems there's too much focus on the foreground as opposed to the house. The fact that it's fenced off from the majority of the picture seems that this grassy area is not actually connected with the house and you're taking a picture of a park with a house in the background.
Still, all that said, this is a better representation of the concept than many others that entered.

Fits the bill as far as the challenge theme is concerned but for the rest it makes no visual impact nor does it have anything that makes it exceptional and I rate it just below average. 4
