Cool! I like the water droplets. Good colors on the duck's head and bill. Your image makes me smile.

I love this! When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how they got the water to look like that in pictures of Olympic swimmers backs. This is one of my favorites of the challenge so far. 10 and a fave.

Somewhat interesting capture. Good stop motion effect. The crop and angle isnt pleasing to my eye. A bit too tight and the angle just doesnt feel right. Wish there was more to the story.

Great timing. You can see the natural water repellent at work. I especially like the beading on the head Nice exposure and tack sharp.

good job freezing the motion of the water. suggestion: for a centered composition you could have cropped tighter. just an idea to make it look more interesting and showing more details of the duck

A nice capture of motion, but the photo seems a little skewed.
