There's not much more for me to add as comment. It's a very nice photo, but it just looks if you couldn't make a choice between the colors or the water. (But keep making this kind of photos!)

Interesting, we all want to crop your very nice picture. (My version would be close to a panoramic) but you know, this image tells a beautiful story just the way it is. Crisp, clear, serene, yet very obviously an autumn image with the foretaste of winter on the way. The Canada geese look good from that angle and the gentle wakes they left are perfect for the composition.

interesting reflections. however, as a "bird shot lover", the blown out whites in the coot's bill is bothersome. (not that getting it is easy - that's what makes bird photography such a challenge, particularly a dark bird with hot white feathers or bills). hope this doesn't offend, but I know people will drop points in challenges if details like this are overexposed.

Hey! What's the matter with ducks! This is another nice image and that coot looks as if it's enjoying life. Obviously, the water is the main point, and what a main point it is. Reflections are just gorgeous in living color, and that coot adds the exclamation point. Good seeing.

Wonderful color in that water and the coot adds interest. The gold lines are pretty. Well seen.

Love the light. Simple two elements of geese and reflections versus third element (sic) of water give the serenity and balance I like in this kind of picture. But I think, contra Erik, that if you cropped just a little off the top we'd get a greater sense of the geese going off into the distance. As well, there is a set of concentric ripples radiating from the bottom right, though they don't continue beyond the lead goose/gander, which would be given greater play and tighten up the composition.

The reflections, red tree and gold lines and that one perfect circle, truly make this. Too bad duck's head is not backgrounded by one of the blue patches, but his black colour with all the sheen is a good foil for the reflections. (Can you identify him?)

Nice reflections of the colorful trees. Wonder if cropping both right and bottom a bit will emphasize them better. Inclusion of the geese adds interest.

Good timing for this capture, and you struck a good compromise with framing the ducks without getting too much distraction around the edges. The color reflecting at the top is just enough to show what time of year it is and add a little interest without overwhelming the subject.
