I think this should have been titled curious, because that seems to be what this brave duckling is! I am not sure the image does a lot for me but it is a perfect match to the theme.

Perhaps not the most artistically breathtaking image, but it's the perfect depiction of the challenge topic. This little guy looks exactly like he is nervously contemplating a first step that will change his life forever. Well spotted and well photographed. 7

I just love the colors in this shot. The duckling is a tad blown out but not to the point of distraction. The photo does respect the theme. Good job! 8

This photo is one of the best photos I have ever seen. I cried like a baby when I saw the little duckling looking at the deep water. I think I need to get my self together before I vote another picture.

Nice idea, fits the theme well. The pic is good but a little soft and the duckling's back is overexposed. There are also some elements that distract but then you probably didn't have much time to take the picture. Well done.

Got the cute factor perfectly. Looking for a high finish from this one. The green just makes the contrast required for a well finished shot.

Ideal shot for the challenge! (7 for now, this one will likely receive a bump on the 2nd go round).

Good shot, nice scene. A bit of overexposure on the duckling, but I'm not even sure how you'd fix that, so it doesn't matter...lol

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

seems a bit overexposed?

Too bad the little dude is overexposed. A polarizing filter could have helped with the water too.

Love the yellow and complimentary yellow. Nice visual with the movement of the water. I like the softness of the duck against the more stiff lines of the grass. Very nice composition.
