| Love the title! I also like the angle in which you composed your shot. The organ keys are shot at a diagonal. That helps to create strong visual interest with the keys cutting across the composition on a diagonal. This sets the stage for your duck to be posed in such a way that it appears that he is 'swimming/dancing' across the keys and coming right for us. You could have said Duckatta & Fugue as my husband is commenting over my shoulder:-) Still, not a bad title as that I got the connection immediately:-) So the title is still strong. I am not sure I like the all the level of keys that creates a three tiered 'stage' because it makes the image a bit busy. But since you choose the Toccata & Fugue which I believe was written for a pipe organ you cannot deviate by using a piano and keep the title. One way to make it less busy might be to increase your angle to be even more on the diagonal or crop closer such that the duck takes up the greater portion of the left half of the shot. In this way it would greater strengthen the focus on the ducky being the main subject of the shot. The second thing that detracts from the strength of the shot is the ducky itself. Sometimes rubber duckys can be hard to find so it maybe that this is the only one you had on hand BUT the you can hopefully not deny that green shirt and hat gives him a beachy type feel which conflicts with the classical music 'feel'. A plan ducky would have been better so as to not invoke conflicting or mismatched ideas/feel. But as I said that may have been easier said than done. Nonetheless you do want to pay attention to the choice of elements you compose within your shot such that it adds too and strengthens the shot. |

| Nice Detail, lighting and execution - Composition wise my eyes are drawn away from the duck a little too much and that green neon light is really distracting. |
