Too "snapshot" of a photo. The sky is way blown out, shadows too dark. The detail is not good, and the colors get blotchy in the water near the horizon.

This photo is too dark, and there is no detail anywhere in the main subjects.

Nice try, but the post processing really hurt this entry. There is a big halo around the main and background subjects that needs some work, and the gravestone is almost blown out, with no texture at all. The shadows are extremely dark, and the main subjects head would look better complete.

Excellent work! You've really captured the meaning of this competition, and with such grace and elegance. the lines throughout the photo are very captivating.

Nice work on this photo. I like the composition, with the protective parents over their unborn younglings. The colors are all well done, but the focus does seem to drop off a little on the bottom end of the photo.

Nice shot! I really like the participation of the son helping the father out. The lighting is very nice, and the use of color, or no-color, was well done. Congratulations.

Thank You

Congratulations! Nice photo. I like the coloring, and the full spectrum seems to be well used. I think it would look better with more cooperation from the subjects, as far as participating in the same event (either looking at the camera or elsewhere, instead of one of each.) But still a nice photo.

I think that the mother duck should have been included/excluded all of the way, instead of just partly. The whole image is not very sharp.

I like the compsotion and idea of the shot, but I think a little more care could have been given to the shadows of the two kids, and the shadows on the blue shirt. They appear too dark.

The highlights are way too bright. The man's shadow on the womans face and shoulder are very distracting, as well as on the wall between them.
