No doubt this will produce a low score. The wood duck is
wild and you do have to look quick before they fly away. Too much brush between myself and the ducks, could not get a shot of them flying out of the water

Editing (i'm guessing that's what it is anyway) is a little distracting IMO
Would've liked to have seen the duck a little closer up if at all possible (Not always a possibility with wildlife though)
Very interesting. The motion blur to the duck is distracting IMO. I would have loved to see the duck more upclose but I know you might not of been able to.
The processing/effect seems at odds with the subject, who is placidly swimming and seemingly unaware of whatever zoomy thing is going on unconnected to his movement. While it generally focusses attention on the duck, there are a few pretty clear branches caught in the maelstrom which also grab the eye. The overall effect is not pleasing to me.
