I like the balance of this one with each water fowl placed equally from each other and the edges of the shot. ;~)

Nice shot - I can't help with the CA but the ducks are Scaup - I can't tell whether Greater or Lesser - you either have to see them together to tell by size or in flight to tell by the wing bars. Judging by the little crown on the male I'm guessing Lesser. I can't see on your profile where you're from - I'm guessing the US where these are fairly common - I saw one over here once years ago but they are very rare visitors.

If they're the same gender, they'll probably keep their distance. But for this one's sake, I hope they're different genders!!

He's beautiful. White birds are just so photogenic aren't they? I love that pure water background.
