Good photo. Not sure about choice of subject (lacking in impact because of it, IMO).

color doesnt seem to be dominant here

lol. Very interesting perspective shots. I like it.

good job, nice colors

Nice composition. I like this picture alot, but I think the colour association is a stretch. Very well done, and good luck on the Blue ribbon...

quack quack quack.. notice i only had three. I don't cae for that far back one. Nice shot, tho

Quack! Very funny and good dof.

Is there a reason for the missing bow-tie on the first duck? Perhaps he is the male in the group - or the leader (",). // 7 //

Great picture... could be a little clearer.

Very clever

good job

Well we've all got a chance at getting the blue ribbon here, but I see you already have 4 of them :-) Nice pic, the border fits in well.

Why doesn't the front duck have a bow? And why do have so many identical ducks? I likw the composiiton and it meets the challenge. Downsides are lighting could be brighter and the front duck could be in sharp focus.

This picture would work as well for the symmetry challenge as it does for the color challenge. I like the soft lighting but I wish the lead duck was a bit sharper. I would also have cropped it to leave some space in front of the lead duck for him to swim into. It might have also helped to have a very diminished light source on the left side of the camera to illuminate the visible side of the ducks’ faces but not so strong to compete with the main light. I gave this one a 6.

The bottom of the front one should have been with the composition I think.
04/08/2003 04:21:03 PM
Sorry I just don't understand the pic. Something is missing,like the side and back of pic. it lacks clarity.
04/08/2003 02:17:34 PM
nice job nice use of color
04/08/2003 03:44:37 AM
I think the ducks could use more light/highlights. Great Idea though.
04/08/2003 01:23:28 AM
this is a very clever photo but does not have enough 'colour' for me to rate highly in this challenge.

NIce setup
04/07/2003 07:25:11 PM
nice angle
04/07/2003 06:08:35 PM
Nicely lit. Good perspective.
04/07/2003 05:00:13 PM
A little under exposed, but very interesting picture anyway. Maybe better if you showed more of the bottom of the first duck (ie. center the near duck).

Perfect focus. Wish there was a bit more light, but not much - it's emerging from the dark, which is good (imho).
04/07/2003 01:46:13 PM
nice image, this is creative, good job
04/07/2003 12:57:51 PM
Good colors, but the eye isn't lit and that bugs me just a bit. I feel we need to see his eye....MHO. Cute shot.

Good use of dof. But i don't like the composition or the colors/lights.
04/07/2003 12:44:25 PM
Nice perspective and good composition
04/07/2003 10:25:18 AM
