this is washed out and overexposed, i had some troiuble getting the details in the feathers of the white ducks without overexposure...so i went back reshot them and lowered the exposure and came out with much better results

washed out body, i would have spot metered, or used a (ND) filter.

I think I would have preferred a cropping more off the top with more of the reflection visible at the bottom. But otherwise, this is a great shot. Good luck in the challenge!

I wish I knew enought about photography to offer you some concrete suggestions here, but I don't. I know the photo looks a little cloudy and the feathers on the right side are a little blown out, but can't tell you what to do to prevent that in the future. Maybe someone with more experience can help :)

I would have like the photo more with some more contrast and color, and maybe the whole reflection of the swan, some parts of the swan look blown out...

Contrast too harsh. Would be better if you'd can take the whole reflection on the water.

Too bad about the burned-out highlights
