This is beautiful done and could truly pass for an oil painting. It is a very accurate portrayal of this beautiful bird with all of his striking colors.

    Ha,ha. Try to train your ducks on land. This is not a decoy, but supposed to be the real thing. [This is a painting.]

This is a well executed portrait of a wood duck. The colors are vibrant the composition is very pleasing and it's very realistic looking. At first glance I thought it was a photograph. So there you have it. Good luck in the contest

This is indeed a fine entry for this contest, and the green head of the Wood Duck is really standing out as the center of interest. With such a colorful bird, it is a perfect with the plain grey background, and it is standing out from it in an excellent way.

I like the fine textures you have brought out, the fine shadings, your smooth brush strokes and also the good use of high lights.

I also think the format and the framing is working really well, and the duck has got a very fine placement off to the right. This makes for a good balance in the composition, and also a good balance between negative and positive space. A truly lovely and well done digital painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautiful duck and a very life like painting. The colors are fantastic and the composition is excellent. Your technique is excellent but I might eliminate that white patch around the tip of his bill. Best of luck in the contest.
