I see it's a full frame image but I would still crop a little off the bottom. A little added to the left would have been nice. Still a nice shot otherwise.

Beautiful colors, great sharpness on the closer bird, and the other one is almost as sharp. I agree with a little more room on the left.

cool color and texture in the water, Rick. I think that compositionally this would be much stronger with more room in front of the lead duck and less room on the bottom. the lead duck appears to be a molting immature male Lesser Scaup.
