hey, look at you!
the ribbons are starting to get closer to me! Well at least geographically!
I'm proud to be in the same state as one of the ribbon winners this time - and thought this shot certainly was a standout!
No comment from you on how the blue lights were achieved - please share! |

my psychic powers predict a top ten finish for this picture.
Almost flawlessly executed.
I say almost, because there has to be something wrong with it otherwise I wouldn't be able to take the blue ribbon :-) |

Mmmhh... this shot is very nice but there's one very distracting element that avoids me from thinking perfect!
The "light" from the top, the white one, isnt completely round around the duck. I feel that with your center position of the duck it kinda needs the circle around it.
Well done on a good shot though :) 6 |

| I love the vivid tones and perfect focus. Good lighting, creating the shadow below his bill. I can hear the "Close Encounters" theme in the back of my head too. ;~D |

| Nice lighting. Before I saw the title I was thinking it was a duck in the limelight, on stage or something. |

| Great shot, love the composition and lighting, it really looks like he's being ab-duck-ted. 10 |

| Ha, ha, I just commented on someone else who used "abduction" that they should use the "Ab-Duck-tion". Nice. However, the use of the 4 blue dots looks more like stars are chasing him (kind of like Close Encounters). Might have accomplished the interrogation look better by omitting those lights and just leaving the one spotlight on him or finding a single spot light look. |

| Oh! Bad pun!!! I like it:-) Anyways onto the critique. The composition is clean and simple in its presentation. The concept is executed perfectly - looking at your photo I can hear the five notes that are widely recognized in the Close Encounters soundtrack. Hmm, matter of fact, it might have been a nice subtle nod to the movie and the musical track if you had 5 blue lights instead of the 4 pictured here. I like the white spotlight that shines down on the duck for it makes one think of the light beam that is pictured as beaming up the ab-duck-tee. The only critique I have is that the spotlight creates such a heavy shadow under the beak. Mayhap if you had a smaller spotlight or penlight that you could have shined under the duck's beak it would have greatly reduced the shadow or eliminated it. To wrap up, wonderful composition and great concept: 9 |
