Sublime. Like the composition and contrast of the feather to the smooth rolling water and the muted reflections. Like the feather reflection as well. 10.

I knew someone would capture the essence of all those duck photos without scaring those poor waterfowl.

This is definitely minimalism, would have liked to have the feather more sharpened to make the picture exciting.

Nice effect on the waves, shame about the spots/artifacts?

i love the surface of the water and the reflection of the feather.

I like the smoothness of the water. Plus when I have seen feathers in the water they tend to sink and not be as fluffy so good job. I gave it a 7.

how did you ever think to take this photo for this contest? Good Job

Oh to be able to smooth out those little imperfections on the water - such a presence here, against that smoothness. I would love there to be a bit more fine detail on the feather; this is a fine shot though.

Nice. Focus is soft though.

Nice. I can almost feel the water. Meets the challenge perfectly, plus the image is appealling, thanks mainly to the water - although it's the feather that makes one look at the water and feel the depth. Good job.

Lovely simple idea which works well for this challenge 9

Good. Maybe more sharpness on the feather would be nice.

This is a nice image. I love the way the texture looks in this image. The water looks so smooth. I also like the position the feather happens to be in. NIce image.

I like these colours very nice and fits the Minimalism challenge Maybe a little more focus on the feather to make it appear sharper
