| IMO I would have tried a diff crop and get it not so centered. Good try! |

| Great timing. I like the reflection and the texture of the water. 8 |

| SImply fantastic! The ripples each have a subtle hue which lends much interest to the composition. Your processing left a bit of a halo around the subject which is not overall distracting but worthwhile to mention. But otherwise, top notch photo with sharpness and detail. 8 |

| I don't like to have the bird so much in the centre a bit more to the right and lower would have made this picture much greater. Still it is calm and beautiful but misses this extra thing that makes the wow of a great picture. |

| Great focus and reflection. I would try cropping so the bird isn't centered. |

| Good capture. Would have been better if less centered. |

| The best bird picture by far; simply because the bacground has some texture and interest. |

The centered composition works here
I especially like the reflection, very purdy |

| Very nice shot. I'd like to see the bird more to one side or the other, rather than dead center. A little saturation boost might help, too. |

| I like the reflection of bird. The top should be cropped a bit further to remove the darker blue line. Also would be better if the bird wasn't in the direct middle. |

| I don't really like the center placement of subject. makes the picture feel static and boring. |

| The scene is bright enough to be hard on the eyes. Nice reflection and water texture, though. |

| the dark band near the top is distracting, but without it the photo would lose something... its a tough call but if you could do this over I guess more sky would be nice. |

| I would have liked to see more color. Perhaps some adjustment in post-processing with saturation would boost the blues in the water. |

| Composition way too centered for my taste but otherwise, not bad at all. Still needs something to really make it shine, perhaps next time you could try a polarizer to decrease the reflection in the water to try and bring some depth into the texture of the water? Just an idea anyway. Good job but not great either, would have ranked it higher if you had cropped away the bottom and right side and placed the duck according to the rule of thirds but I still gave it a 6 like it is, nice capture. |

| A crop with more neg space in front of the subject would rate higher with me. 7 |

| This is a great idea, but the execution would have been better if the bird was not quite so centered in the frame. Still an excellent shot |

| Maybe I would have preferred the main subject off centre but an excellent action shot, focussing the attention on the subject. |

| wow, great shot definitely fits this challenge imho. well done, 9 :o) |

| would have loved to see the bird not centered in frame...in left or right third, perhaps? very nice reflection.. 7 |
