ha! now that i've read your description, i really like this shot. i would try this again from a different perspective and with a mini-light taped to the duck so it shows up more prominently.

You know, I hadn't noticed the yellow streak at all. But coming back to the shot just now I did notice. Definitely a photo where taking a second glance is helpful.
(I was the "10" vote! I just really like it! :-) ) |

Unfortunately most people didn't seem to see the yellow-streak which represented the duckie floating away. Some commented that the tiny ducks should have been bigger... perhaps if they were absent altogether the yellow streak would have not been as easily overlooked. I actually did not like much of the rest of this shot. I have a bunch of other waterfall shots (such as the image below) that i like much better, but i didn't have a duckie with me on those days, and on the day I did my photo shoot for the challenge I didn't have time to hike the extra 2 miles to get to the prettier part of the river. Maybe I'll be able to compose a better reshoot for a future challenge, or just for myself.
Thank you everyone for the votes and feedback! I look forward to future submissions!!!

| I love the quality of the water. I don't love the very very small ducks, and the scrubby stuff at the top corners of the shot. |

| IMHO...when the challenge calls for rubber ducks they need to play a bigger role in the photo. A nice shot nonetheless. |

| Yep!... I found!... Three yellow duckyes and a black one?!?... (I'm just trying to say that it's hard to find the main subject in this picture and the composition has too much distracting information). Try to keep only the bottom left quarter of the photo. It should work better. Anyway, good exposition and shutter speed. |

| Nice long exposure. But the ducks are lost in this image, a closer shot from a lower angle would be better, even a tight crop of this image would be better. |

| Took me a few seconds to spot the streak. About right, maybe slightly too long. Something needs to draw my eye to it faster or many will miss it. More intense? Flash freeze at the closing curtain, but block the flash from the water? Who knows... |

| the ducks are very hard to observe. a different position (like behind the ducks) could have made a beter shot |

| Here I think a tighter crop would of done better. They are so far away we see more foliage then ducks. Your photo is pretty of a stream in the early fall. |

| Maybe some people won't like this since the ducks aren't prominant enough, but you definitely "included" them in your photo as the challenge description says, and this is a really lovely shot I think! |

| Nice shot, but the ducks are so small, I have to go searching for them. It does meet the challenge, but I would want just a bit more emphasis on the ducks. |

| nice capture, but you really have to look for the ducks. They are made secondary to the remainder of the shot. |
