 A cool early morning shot on Boxing Day at a local park. The ducks got excited when they saw the caretaker - looking to be fed I guess. I took several shots but this was the best in my opinion. But it did require heavy cropping and processing. I'm not that used to taking action pictures so I was pleased with how this came out.

I love this for the consistency of colors and saturation throughout. The processing is wonderfully detailed and the busy-ness makes it seem almost abstract at first but then shapes start popping out. I keep staring at it. 9

A lot of potential in this, though I think it could use something to help the ducks stand out from the background a bit better.

Nice colors, but too soft.

This would be a great print for the duck hunter in your family. Very nice job.

Not a huge duck fan but I do enjoy the drama and motion within this image. I hoped for a bit more balance between the ducks and background or I should say less balance, more contrast to separate them more.

Pictures of ducks are frequently boring. This one has action and color. I like it! I think the frame detracts a lot from the picture. It's too wide and the white inner frame keeps pulling my eye out of the picture to the frame. I think a narrower, simpler border would have been more effective.

Looks like this is an illustration for a postal stamp. Very nice.
