First off I just have to say, my boyfriend thought this was hilarious, and he loved it. :-)

Composition - I like the composition here... Good use of the rule of thirds. Good placement of the little guy.

Exposure - Its tough to tell on the exposure here cause you have something very light on a dark background. He almost looks a tad bit underexposed to me. Especially the tail, I wish I could see more detail on the tail.

Color - the color is interesting, rather bland though.

Focus - the focus on him is excellent,

Background - I don't care for the background here... maybe a solid background of blue tinted water would have looked good. Personally I can't tell whats in the background, and it's rather distracting.

Fit For Challenge - I suppose I can see where you were going with the blue water, however it turned out somewhat green. And this picture doesn't make me feel blue... it makes me laugh, which doesn't add to the challenge criteria of evoking blue.

Ligthing - tough to say, because of the water... good job on not having too many hot spots though!

Wowability - personally I don't think there is any, though I guess my bf saw some!

Final comments are that I would have maybe experimented some more with this picture... the water looks dirty on the top, and I"m just not sure if this is a very appealing picture. Good try though!

The out of focus background is very distracting - the blue on the right side and the green on the top right side. The toy is in very good focus but, in my opinion, the background is too busy. Cute idea and nice play on words in the title. PTL 5

I see a whole lot more green than blue.
