Great clarity, perhaps just a bit 'ordinary' for it to score high. I know you hate to hear that and I don't mean it unkindly. That's just the impression I had from it
Nice capture, love the reflection, focus is alright, would love to see just a touch more feather definition but I do realize how hard that is on a white bird-the feathers just seem to blend on white. I like that you can even see his little foot behind him, overall nicely done and good luck
I like the different textures in the water... I like the reflection in the water...... you have good details in the whites of the duck - detail in the eye would make it even better
Very nice capture of the reflection. It looks like you may have sacrificed some detail in the duck to achieve it though. I can't make out any textural details in its feathers and the eye doesn't have the catch light that adds that sparkle of life to a living subject in a photo. Still, it's a strong effort.
