What the "duck" are you looking at?

Greetings from the critique club...

Your composition is pretty good. I like the focus being on the head, and not including too much other than what's necessary to get your point across. The saturation seems like it might be a little too much, although I guess it's possible that it came out of the camera that way.

Your focus is just about spot on -- try to get it right on the eye always when shooting animals -- which is apparently what you did here, good job. There is a lot of pixelation in the grass in the background. I'm not sure if that's a result of jpg compression or from a bump in saturation, either way, probably not going to be too desireable as a 'stock image'.

Your score seems right on par. 5.4 -- that's pretty good. Good shot and keep shooting!

That looks like a really cool place to be. It just seems like it's lacking dynamic range -- some cool lighting (before sunset/at sunrise) or maybe a better angle could have done better. As far as a stock image, it could probably find its place out there somewhere, but the purchaser would be more inclined to buy a full color pic and then desaturate what they want themselves. It just doesn't leave a lot open. If it would appeal to a broader range of purchasers possibly you would have scored better.

seems you may have a cast over your picture. Like the white balance is off or something.

Good idea...nice flavor savor ;-) It's original enough (in my opinion) ... but it just doesn't stand out as being exceptional or exciting...oh wait, that would be against the challenge huh...good job then!

Well, he definately looks bored...I'll give you that. I assume the soft focus on the eyes was intentional -- but there's a reason that it's a general rule to focus on the eye -- because that is the part of the photo that is going to hold the most interest -- the viewer's focal point. Everything else should just build itself around that. Good shot...just a little more thought and I think you'd do much better.
