Funny pic. To me, the mystery is how he's still standing!

I think this would've been better more tightly cropped around the central bird. His round shape lends easily to a centered composition and a square crop; in this large rectangle, he's kind of lost. And the background, while blurry, still distracts from the central point of the raised leg. Finally, blowing him up more would give more detail in the feathers and his head. 4.

Not sure I'm buying the "mystery" part here. :)

I think this may qualify as "bad bokeh" (if you even paid attention to that thread back on that challenge). Look at the way the highlights stand out on parts of the ducks. Not too pleasant. The absolute centered subject is a bit tough too. Doesn't speak M&M to me. 4

I think cropping out the sky so there arent any distracting white/lighter sections and perhaps putting the duck off-center more may have helped.

crop is too lose, composition too centered.
