It could have been useful if you wrote something in the "photographer's comments" ... with your thoughts about your photo , the story , if you know what has happened with this animal , your steps during the edition , etc.
Imo it meets the challenge , there are several publications dedicated to animals , maybe viewers/voters expected something more general having in mind common newspapers. Your final score doesn't reflect a DNMC.
It's a rather good photo , it has been impactive as you can read in the comments left.
To improve it ? Maybe correcting the chromatic aberration visible around the beak and head , maybe this have been more noticeable due to the sharpening.
Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion , feel free to email me about this critique.
wow! what a shot! I would have given another title: duck hunting protesters up in arms...or duck hunting debate brews again...the title was important in the challenge 8
