There were three of these guys at a pond near a shopping area. They were so tame that my son was able to walk right up and pet them. This guy really posed so nicely, that I had to enter him in the challenge.

I'm not a huge duck fan and he's not very exotic, so I don't anticipate this doing very well. I just liked the red of his face with the green of the background.

Colors are cool, but he looks like the bird version of the elephant man. ;-) Still, a 5.6 is decent.

Nice, clean and sharp, with good contrasting colors in background. 7.

almost great. a little softer than it could be. perhaps a little more light needed too.

Good exposure, the red is really quite vibrant and saturated, and good to see a catchlight in the eye too. I like how the background adds a color contrast without being too obvious or distracting. Technically good but lacks the wow that gives it a little bit more.

I've not seen one like that before ... looks like it's half turkey.

Such incredible texture in those feathers and on that face! I appreciate that since I tried to take a photo of one of these guys this week, and it turned out all noisy and drab! This has beautiful colors and tones! And a great connnection with that eye contact! Wonderful!

background and lower neck are too dark, the black border even accentuates that
