Peggysue, I am not into the Two Horses. And the second shot of the guy I do not like. I am more into realism. This shot of the ducks is a lot more to my liking. Quick first impression is I like it. I like the composition and “real” look. I find the overall image to be fuzzy. The background is distracting. And what is that one bird standing on? Overall the framing is good, you could loose more from the right and the bottom. I like the position of the two ducks both individually and relative to each other. Is the lighting different on each, did you paste the two together? It is difficult to see some of the detail with the small pic, but looking at it, it almost appears that the duck in the water was hit with a flash, and the one on the “Shore” was ambient light. All these things put together make the pic have a high overall tension factor. I find my eyes darting around trying to make sense of these confusions.
