| Cute idea, but lighting looks a little harsh and it really reminds me of an ebay photo. Try getting eye level with the first row of ducks and angling up towards the stuffed pirate. |

by simply photographing this against a plain background would have made this picture stand out so much more.
a blank wall, a sheet, a towel, anything. |

| Captain Jack Sparrow's crew has gone all duckie, savvy eh? Cute concept but the composition needs a little work to boost it into an above average shot. First, while focus is sharp in some areas (Jack Sparrow)in other areas it is soft (the crew in the foreground). An aperature of 5.6 or even greater will increase the depth of field and so too the level of detail/sharpness in all elements seen here. If you use an higher aperature & an ISO of 100 or lower you will also want to steady your camera with a tripod or some object to rest so that the image is not blurred from hand shake. Lastly - background. Backgrounds can be an important part of the composition as well. That dull grey wall and table that act as a backdrop does not help invoke the imagery of a pirate ship sailing the seven seas. It detracts. A picture or image of a blue sky with white clouds with the other duckys on a wooden plank (walking the plank)is one suggestion for the background. Perhaps taking the set-up to a dock would be another option. |

| Nice idea, but not well executed, imo. The lighting is harsh, you can see a side shadow... Perspective may have helped this photo, and a different background. |

I envy your collection. I need to get some of those crewmates.
