I really like all that blue in the background. It really brings out the duck. Some people might say that the white on the upper left is distracting though. Other than that I think this is great.

Nice!! I like the texture and colour of the background. I agree that the white is a wee bit distracting, though. I think maybe a portrait orientation showing the reflection of the duck in the water might be nice as well. But it's good enough as it is.

I like the strong contrast between the yellow duck and blue water.
The colors looks very well together.

I agree with the previous posts - maybe crop out the white at the top. Otherwise, great duckie!

I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else. Great colors, duckie's in focus and the water is perfect! I do agree about cropping the top as well.

Be proud of this shot!
