Hi from the Critique Club!
Is there a conspiracy to give me all the duck entries?:))
As I said on my last but one critique:A difficult one for me; personally ducks do nothing for me, so for a duck image to get me excited it has to be really special. Critique images are given out randomly so I wish you could have had someone who loves the little darlings, but those are the breaks;)
That said, I find myself smiling at this image.I think if you had chosen the word 'carnage' instead of 'chaos' it might have been more dramatic or sinister:)You have caught the ducks in various stages of flightand fright, and if it was the opening of duck season then it makes sense. But you must be mad braving a duck shoot just to get an image:))
I wish you had got closer, but I'm glad you didn't if it was gunfire creating the chaos! There is a lovley triangular/pyramid composition going on with the ducks, which is pleasing to the eye. This along with the capture of the water droplets and the various stages of flight does give movement to the image.
The bottom of the image, around the water and grass does seem over exposed or over sharpened, but it doesn't detract that much from those hilarious ducks.And for some reason I can hear the 'Jaws' music playing in my head:))
I have warmed to this image, it's one of those one off moments and feel the score was a little harsh;) |

| Sally ... I am disappointed that this interesting and instructive photograph didn't do better. Judging by the comments, it seems that the problem was that it was an unlikely subject for a movie. I agree with that, but this image is a better photograph than at least 150 of the shots that finished ahead of it, and you should have got credit for that. If memory serves, the date this was taken was actually the opening day of the 2006 NZ duck season? Had I known that, my 8 would have been a 9. And no popcorn required. |

| Not a bad capture but I feel it wouldn't make for a great film poster. It is a bit busy for that, IMHO. |

Fabulous light. There's plenty more to like about it, too, but the use of light is worth a 7 on its own.
Nah ... rethink: 8. I'm not so sure I'd sit through the whole movie, though, unless you gave free popcorn too? |

| I really like the title and the idea but I would like to see the ducks a little closer and more in focus. |

| A whole movie about duck pond chaos? It sounds like you're just describing your picture. |

| Nice capture, although it doesn't look like a movieposter to me. |

| Indeed! I might have thought about cropping this to fill the frame with more of the action. Nice image. |
