Composition & Framing

85

The subject is well-centered with a balanced amount of surrounding water, creating a clear and focused composition.

Lighting & exposure

80

The lighting is soft and even, likely overcast, which prevents harsh shadows and allows for good detail in the feathers.

The vibrant green of the duck's head contrasts beautifully with the muted browns and grays of the water and body.

The dynamic action of the wing flap adds energy to the scene, making it more engaging than a static portrait.

The image is sharp on the duck's head and body, though there is some motion blur on the wings which is natural for the action.
