What a creative concept! It really looks like two ducks even though I know it isn't. It gets a bit difficult to see where one starts and the other stops, but I like the way you have aligned the stripes which helps a lot. So very creative!

Had to look twice at this image as the reflection is so unique making it a good entry to the competition. Great color and subject matter.

An out the box presentation of theis very colourful duck.
Great idea works very well with your title... putting it side up the photo looks well focussed with good details and colour. Good luck

At first I was confused till I figured it out that it was vertical and not horizontal. The mandarin duck is amazing with his beautiful colors. Very nice reflection

LOL I don't know if this is what they were looking for for the contest but I LOVE the image. Love the absolute liquid feel of the water. You can't beat having such a gorgeous duck and a super reflection of it! The out of the Box thinking made this fun and the clarity and lighting of this beautiful duck made this a phenomenal image. Wish I had a six to bless it with! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

A beautiful bird and a very nice reflection. I love the colors and the great rendering of the water. The vertical presentation is certainly unusual. Best wishes in the contest.
