GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!
Nice photo here. I agree with Galina about the greenish cast on the feathers. The image looks as if it is a bit dark. Maybe a levels adjustment to bring everything up a tad. Otherwise the detail on the bill is nice and sharp, nice colors there too. Its a shame that there wasnt maybe more reflection/glare coming off of the eye, that way it would have a little bit less of a flat feel. I think maybe the only real major improvement I could suggest is a more interesting crop/composition, as Mavrik has alredy noted.
Good shooting.

| heh - I tried getting my dogs barking, but they would have none of it. Good capture of the open mouth, the 'quack' as it were is obvious and apparently - maybe too tight of a crop here? |

| There's a green cast on his neck - maybe hue/saturation adjustment would have helped to minimise it. |

| The title of "AFLAC" might also have worked, except for the overseas folks. This duck was very kind to allow you such a photograph - I didn't know ducks had tongues. 8-9 if voting. |

| Mmm, well... okay, I concede that to some this will evoke sound, even if that wasn't my first thought, so 'on topic' but only on second thought. Aside from that -- neat photo; I didn't know birds had tongues! You learn something new every day. |

| 10 for concept, 8 for execution: 9 overall. :-> A little more drama in the pose/cropping/composition might well have pumped it a bit higher, but still, very good. I hear the photo (which is my major grading criteria for this contest), and it's an appealing image overall. Good focus, good light, good contrasts. |

| Very nice close-up!! Focus and DOF are nice. The duck really pops out. Great detail. He looks like he's warning you to get out of his space. Good job. 8 Good luck in the challenge. |
