"Top one is boring.  I disagree about always having the camera eye level with either people or animals.  The best point of view is the one that communicates your message most effectively.  I like the colors in the duck. …"

"Top picture, Does nothing for me, maybe alter the colours? The mallard duck, well I go back millions of years when I was being taught photography, if you are taking pictures of wildlife the lens needs to be level with their eyes or below the level.…"

"I don't know.  I love them both."

"Truthfully speaking there is nothing special about this photo, for me it's just a photo of a bird. Try taking photos that have never been seen, from different perspective or anything that will truly make a photo unique.  "

"Please give me a compelling reason t look at this photograph.  It's sharp and well exposed but I don't have a reason to come back to it and look at it over and over, which is the reason we make photographs; to communicate ideas. "

"I like how this blends in with the background.  Its amazing the tricks nature comes up with to protect life.  Great job.  Wished there had been a catchlight in the bird's eye.  Other than that, much better than anything…"

"The color didn't seem quite right to me.  Here is my effort to bring more focus to the bird.  I cropped in a bit, made some adjustments in level, color balance, and vibrance/saturation.  Hope it gives you some ideas. "

"Composition and overall sharpness are good. But the bird is easily lost because it blends in so well with the background. Try opening your aperture more to create a more blurred, simple background so that your subject stands out."
