I need help!

I hope my comment is not too late. I will go for no 1 but no cropping. If it is just the owl, then I will have chosen no 2. No 2 lack contrast as the subject sink in with the water.

Somehow, no 1 still lack something but I can't figure out what. The WOW effect is not throwing at you although it was a great photo.

Thanks. Sorry not been back here...my wife broke her leg on the day of the competition, and it's been my daughter's 6th birthday this weekend...been really busy!

The duck scored badly.

The Owl wasn't entered, instead I entered a Bald Eagle portrait shot. It scored 16.4 out of 20. It came in as 8th out of 27. It placed me as 3rd in the "newcomers" catagory, however, so that is a place.

Thanks for asking.

So I'm afraid you're late Bukitimah
