nice color and focus, composition doesn't help your cause, cut off tail and front goose at odd angle.

nice detail

Out-of-focus swan in foreground detracts

Geese?

A good rule of thumb for # of subjects, is to have odd numbers... 1/3/5 etc.

The exposure on the birds is a bit off. Its tricky to capture good exposure on these because of the white feathers, but make sure to exposose FOR the white feathers, as it is easier to fix an underexposed part of your photo rather than trying to fix blown out highlights.

I feel the composition could be better, theres no real "wow" factor.

Great capture of texture on the ducks from black to white.

The shallow DOF is lovely for the background, but I think that both birds should be in focus.

Canadian Geese :p

I think those might be geese...or did you do that on purpose so that you could get tons of comments!? Hee hee!! I asked because I've considered doing something like that myself! Ok confession is over. Decent shot. I think it's possible a wider crop would have served you well but of course I have not seen the original.

Goose. but nice capture.

Nice capture with this one, but I really think it is important for the eyes to be in focus if you are photographing animals. I would like to see a wider DOF, so both ducks are in Focus

wish the front duck was in focus, not the back duck. and the tail wasnt cropped off...oh well, a 4 is all i can go.
