Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi! I really like this shot but then again anything with an animal automatically gets extra points from me, LOL!
You are right in that you probably lost points for not having the water as the main focus but the clarity on the duck is amazing and the overall DOF works very well for this shot. I like the cropping on the right side, you are brought into the shot by either corner, the tree in the upper corner, the duck's neck in the lower corner. The left side leaves me a bit disoriented though. I put my hand up trying to see what might make it work a little better for me and I'm thinking just a little tighter crop, either so the tree borders the left side or crop right inside the tree so the water is all on the left seems a bit more composed to me.
The lighting and shadows on this shot are wonderful, I love sunlight shots too.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

| Nice DOF, but the colours/tones seem a bit flat to me. The head doesnt stand out enough I dont think. 5 |

| Great photo. I expect to hear him say Afleck. Maybe a stretch on meeting the challenge though. |

| It is a great shot, good details in the eye of the swan, but the water in the background isn't really the most dominating piece of this photo. [7] |

| Hey Buddy, ya wanna buy a duck? Sorry, couldn't help myself! Duck's expression reminded me of that old joke. Interesting composition, the duck is in perfect focus - would like the background to be a little more so. |

| Beautiful DOF, nice composition here, my only problem is that snow (water) is only in the background. Your composition leads my eyes to the goose, and this distracts me, because I would search for water and all I find for the first time is this bird. |
