•  Comment What a beautiful picture! Please do a denoise so I can support it. -- JovanCormac 16:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
  •  Support The denoise was maybe a little extreme, but it's good enough for me to support already. -- JovanCormac 08:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose left-bottom duck's head almost blends with the background. Generally objects do not pop out of the background enough. --Leafnode✉ 07:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Alternative version is too tight - composition needs some "air" and perspective --Dmitry Rozhkov (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternative 1.

Alternative 1.

I was going to oppose the original because the ducks blend into the background too much, but then I decided to see if I could rectify that problem. I've cropped closer to the ducks (from the top and left only) and darkened the image using levels - the lower duck's head was the main issue with brighness. I would support my version or a version like mine, but not the original as it is now.--Silversmith Hewwo 01:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
