Greetings from the Critique Club
I really like the addition of the wabbit-duck to the ensemble - adds a different touch; and it does indeed seem that the ducks are enjoying their stay. The cloning work is very good - I've tried to see where it was done and really can't tell.
Technically, the image is noisy - I would suspect the original was a touch underexposed and you brought it up through post processing, leading to the noise artifacts. The illusion I think you're trying to create isn't quite there - I take the blue cloth to be the duckys' pond, but it looks more like just a blue cloth. While the addition of the refrigerated items helps to create your setting, the fact they're lit and focused equally with your subjects also detracts from the illusion. In the end, I think it comes down to the light - while using the fridge iight is a pretty neat idea, it didn't quite create the look I think you were after.
If you have any questions (or I didn't make much sense), please feel free to PM me. |

| I'm distracted by the washed out look. Not sure what purpose the objects in the background serve. The title doesn't help the viewer (me) to understand. |

| I like this shot and the soft lighting, however (and this may just be my screen) the duck feels a little grainy. Still, composition is good. I understand the setting of doing it in the fridge, but perhaps a cleaner background wouldve contributed a bit more. Good luck with the next challenge :) |

| Image is pretty grainy, not sure if it was intended or not. IMHO the grain doesn't add to this shot. |

| Image is too dark over bottom 1/3 of photo and the top of the rabbits head is a little blown out. Looks like it was based on the lighting of the fridge which use clear bulbs and thus can give some harsh lighting. A flash from the front may have helped. |

| I like the set up but all the containers are a bit distracting for me |
