Very retro, but I think it could do with some sharpening and tweaking the contrast.

Man, I hope the person in this photograph doesn't see these comments because I think you guys have been a little harsh. Regardless of the model, comments made should be on the photography more than the looks of the model.

I think it's an interesting portrait, the pose is thought provoking and the light seems dimensional. I like it.

I would say something like...freighting!
I have come to two conclusions. #1, its a man with your basic mail order do-it yourself plastic surgery kit, or, #2 an old woman with your basic do-it yourself plastic surgery kit. Either way, we don't need to see the results unless we are at a circus...

Great setup! I think you did a great job at what you planned to do. I love the composition and colors.. I agree with the previous comment: this shot is "nice to view" :-) My favorite part is how you can see the reflection of the yellow duck right under the blue one... it just seems like a nice touch.

I think one thing that really hurt you was the pixelatedness. The maximum allowed file size is 150K and taking advantage of that will give you pictures that look much smoother. The left and right sections of blue especially would look better at a higher file size. I think it would also take care of some of the "softness" although I am not sure. I don't know if you intended the focus to be the way it was but I do like how the blue duck is a bit soft. The softness on the yellow duck doesn't help or hurt, for me, but I can definitely see how others would want it more in focus because it looks like the main point of interest visually.

All in all I think this is a good shot, and congrats on being able to implement your concept!

The blue background and blurriness are destracting.

I like the composition of this photo, with a ducky in both the foreground and the background. But it seems as though the focus is a little soft on both of them. I like the color choice of the background, though it tends to show noise a little more than lighter colors.

I like it that the reluctant ducky is blue. Very nice. ~9
