Not sure but I think that I would crop it down to lose the right hand duck.

For what little it is worth I like it better.

I like the second version better. That fourth duck broke formation early.

I like the second one better, too. However I wonder, is the color off? :confused:

color might be off,,, i tried to get creative with photo shop cs3,, i have never used photo shop before so its a trial and error experience right now

I agree on the third one being better. Play around with PS, it will get better. Just be sure to save your original image and don't adjust it. That way you can always go back to the original as you learn and tweek old photos.
