Rick:

Interesting concept. I like the pano crop and the touch of green in the upper right corner. I think the image is a bit dark and the duck butts don't really stand out enough. Some selective brightening would help for me.

Rick,

Great moment here, I agree with Keith on the "lightening"

A great family action shot Rick and the pano crop is very appropriate for this. The RP is better looking.

It's wonderful line-up Rick, takes the term 'bottoms-up' to a whole new level

Fun image, well done

I like the pano crop of your little family. I think "selectively" lightening the ducks would help. The repost looks better, but now the plant in the bg is a bit off in color. Sharon
