I really like the flow of the ducks and the nice blue sky. Too bad the last two overlap so much. I love that you can see the faces of each and everyone of the ducks.

Derrick, your ducks are very nice. I would like to see a different comp though, with more room to the left for the birds to fly into. Also, the loose grouping really does not have a coherent flow to it that I like to see in duck flock shots. Flock shots are tough, really one of the hardest types of bird images to get to look good. Keep up the good work.

Derrick, I like the varied wing positions and agree with Ron's suggestions regarding comp and grouping. That said, I don't have any great shots of groups of ducks in flight.

I think your comp works pretty well here Derrick, although as Sally said it would be even better if there were some separation between the last 2 birds, but nothing you could have done about that. On my screen the image looks a little dark but take that with a grain of salt as it's not my normal monitor.
