Nice candid capture. THe tonality is warm and natural. Good detail on the duck's feathers.

AHA!! With a username like that, you must be a Monty Python fan. Congrats on a decent score for your second challenge. This is a very creative shot and I think you did an admirable job. It appears that you had illuminated the chessboard from the botton, hence the effect. This is a tough shot to get perfect focus unless you have a tripod and even then, you run the risk of camera shake by depressing the shutter with your finger. Had you set your camera on a tripod, or a flat stable surface, set the timer to activate the shutter, your focus would have been much better........oh well, live and learn. I see that you had the camera set at f8 as the shot may have been blown out otherwise. Good thinking. The composition is good but as you know, the shot is tilted slightly. Other than that, this is somehwat of an advanced technical effort and all in all, you executed it very well. It will be interesting to see how your work advances as you do more challenges and build up your portfolio. Well done!

I'm not certain why I don't like this shot. Maybe, I don't know what the subject is.
