Mike said need more contrast, i think you need new contacts ;)

Thanks for all the critic, thanks for all those who thought it should rate higher.

As for the centred duck... it didn't quite work any other way bc I would of had to either cropped it in tighter and lost quality or cropped out the water skid marks.

A hard shot to get... love the b/w stop action. Hopefully 6.4

Nicely contrasted. 6 is my vote and score.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Terrific moment and nice stop action. Good tonal range. Tricky one to frame. Gave it a seven. Guessing closer to your prediction. 6.2

I predict 5.4444. too dark for most peeps?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:52:58 PM
Nicely stopped action. I will guess 5.8 though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 01:59:04 PM
Turbo duck! Always wanted to capture this. 6 from me and a prediction of 6.2.

good sharp action capture. DPC doesn't usually score high for super wide photos, though, and they won't think that the black and white adds anything to it. Composition feels clumsy to me. Four from me and from DPC a 5.8

 02/08/2015 11:34:32 AM
Good action shot and BW. I think it would be better less subject centered though. You're guess is probably close. 6.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 10:55:06 AM
very cool 6.64
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 09:51:09 AM
I really like this one. Very sharp for stopped motion image. I think you are close in your guess. We will see.

I guess 6.351
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:50:07 AM
For me, this image is a good one, but one notch below the best images in the challenge. I expect it to do about 5.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 12:14:28 AM
Nicely processed. 6.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 04:57:30 PM
I gave it a seven. Guessing a 6.3.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 11:41:31 AM
I think you are optimistic here, some good sense of movement but dynamic bird shots need to be pristine. This falls short of that. I gave it a 5 but I suspect others will be kinder. Nonetheless, I think your estimate is high. I think it will be more like 5.82.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 06:20:45 AM
Nice capture of this duck action. I like the cropping and the contrasts here. 6.1718
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 06:46:11 PM
I would kill for a shot like this. So often seen yet so rarely captured. My guess: 6.45.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 04:03:40 PM
Wonderful capture! I guess you'r right, 6.2 is ok.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 04:02:51 AM
this is really a good picture with proper sharpness, but it's not outstanding - 6 from me and I predict 5.85
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2015 12:00:40 AM
nice sharp focus on the duck, i like the action here, I've never noticed the splash ahead of a landing Duck before, cool! I'll pay more attention in the future, this shot will end up close to your prediction of 6.2 Good Luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 08:43:06 PM
Amazing BW - 6.35
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 07:58:03 PM
Beautiful BW tones and detail. Seems a little too centered, however I believe it will place higher than you think. My guess is 6.5; I scored it a 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 07:15:18 PM
Very nice. I like the stop action, the tones and contrast and the detail on the bird. Seven from me but I think your prediction of 6.210 will be pretty close, so I'll make that my prediction too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 07:05:28 PM
I would title this one "putting the brakes on!" Great capture and nice stop motion. B&W was also a great choice! 6.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 06:56:10 PM
Tuchdown! Very sharp stop-action on the duck. I added a point for difficulty factor in my score. Guessing overall score will be close to your guess: 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 04:42:01 PM
Nice stop action and b/w choice. I agree about 6.25
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 02:35:10 PM
Beautiful stop action, and love the mono contrast. I should think 6.2 is pretty dern close.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 02:27:09 PM
yes,,,,beautiful,,,, ends in 6,5 + i think,,,,,8 from me

Cool, a little dark. 6.05
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 01:12:07 PM
great motion here, and I love the wings.
6.2 is a great guess
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 04:46:19 AM
nice action shot well captured, composition might be a bit central. I think you might get slightly less than your guess but hopefully I'll be proved wrong, good luck. 6.01
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:41:24 PM
Great stop motion. I like it centered as well. I give it a 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 08:35:51 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

Good action, I think it could use more contrast.

My guess: 5.93
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 07:11:43 PM
5.9863 (I gave it a six)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:44:03 PM
It's a cute moment but the cropping could make it better in my view
I'd guess for the majority vote 5.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:20:19 PM
This deserves more than a 6.. I love shots like these :-)) 9 one of my favs in the challenge.
I am guessing a 5.3 for your avg...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:45:18 PM
Nice capture. I would predict a final score of 5.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 12:07:51 PM
The subject is great. Very cute and descriptive of a succesul water landing. I'd love it even more with an off-center subject, just for visual appeal and would also allow to show off more of the wake. Predict 5.92
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:01:48 AM
Good stop action capture. I predict 5.5.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:28:36 AM
6,0 because it´s very beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 08:19:50 PM
Excellent capture; sharp where it matters and still retaining a sense of movement. I scored higher than: 6.24
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 02:29:23 PM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little high, mainly because it's very dark. I gave you a six and I predict that you will finish at 5,8541
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 10:55:05 AM
Nice wildlife action shot well done. My only knock is the white reflection dots that lead you away from the subject. You are allowed to clean some of those up in advanced. I'm in just under your guess.
Back to post my guess. 6.02
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 10:24:50 AM
6 Fine capture of the moment. I understand why you've centered the duck -- to show both the landing and give it space to enter -- but some dynamism is sacrificed from the action. The black and white is a good choice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/02/2015 12:43:05 PM
I am a fan of the black and white. I love your composition and the stopped motion. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/01/2015 10:36:28 AM
I really enjoy this 7 from me.

You deserve a lot more... 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/30/2015 01:51:56 AM
pure action I think you are being modest
