Awwww.... Probably the babies of at least two mothers, maybe three. I've noticed that duck moms will share the load, with one watching the whole herd while another goes off to eat. Nice glow.

This is very special - what beautiful markings the mother has.

Nicely done - love the colors, light and composition. I find the white thing distracting, though.

Good use of vanishing lines effect and leading lines to tke us through the scene. There is a distant white ship out there. Wish it weren't quite so distant. This appears to be a long exposure, as evidenced by the smoothed water. Gives the scene a dreamy look. Very deep depth of field, as the post detail is evident from foreground to distance. The light angle appears to be 90 degrees left. The shadows in the water are hard to reconcile with the posts. That isn't a criticism. The surreal nature adds to the interest of the scene. May have been fairly choppy seas during the exposure. Excellent detail in the darkest shadows and no blown out highlights. Looks like a naturally processed HDR blend. It's done well. I am not critcal of the robust saturation. I think the scene needs the saturation.
