 I was in the park and I saw some ducks on the lake. I took some pictures and I noticed this picture - the water and the duck were calm, so the reflection look "unreal".

I love the subtle colors of the female mallards...crisp focus and an excellent reflection. I don't know what you had to work with but the composition might be enhanced if the crop was not quite so tight on the top and left hand side. 7 from me

Nice reflection. Points off because something looks unnatural about the wing, and the breast is out of focus.

Cropping is a little too close IMHO but an awesome capture nonetheless! Bravo

Well, this beats my image hands down. Great shot. 10. This is one of my favorite subject matters. Nice shot of the hen.

Interesting how the reflected duck seems so much larger than the reality. A bit too tightly cropped for my taste, and the focus could be a little crisper, but on the positive side the way the duck and it's reflection appear to be suspended in space is very effective.
