Hi Greetings from the CC,
Not a bad image, I like that you have managed to get light in each ducks eye, that is important in wildlife shots. But, I think some things that could help may be, leaving some room for the ducks to go into, they all seem to be converging on the left, moving out of the shot, yet we do not know why? They do not have any where to go, and it leads the viewer out of the picture. I try to use as a rule of thumb if I photograph something ordinary I try to get it doing something extraordinary, if I photograph something that is extraordinary than it can just sort of 'be' there and can probably get away with it. Just some thoughts, hope they help. Happy shooting.

Nice detail. Your feathers really show a lot of contrast and texture.

Wow, super-crisp shot! There is something in the top left corner (ducks feet?) which I find a little distracting, but looking at the crop I dont think that couldve been helped. Good luck with the next challenge!

This was also my idea but as I already have this in my profile, I changed my mind at the last moment after going out & photographing ducks surfacing from under water. This is cool. Good luck. I hope it's scoring well.

Nice contrast. But I think the cropping's too tight.
