Judges Comments
You have captured the details reasonably well and the ducks and their reflections provide a basic nature story, but it is not very exciting or unusual. It really needs something to grab the viewer's interest and attention. Perhaps you were trying to capture a sense of tranquility, but that does not come across strongly. In a situation such as this, you need to be patient and try to capture a moment that illustrates a stronger nature story. The reflection of the pole is an unnecessary distraction.
