Not up to the standard of some of the great pictures on here...............
Thanks for looking and for any suggestions you have.
I don't think standards are competitive in the sense of being "up to".
Hopefully not
these are very nice, contrast seems a bit harsh for soft fuzzy ducklings
and agree with others about the crops and #1 needs about a 3 degree
CW rotation. That said, these are really nice with the dark BG's
Very nice clear shots. I would crop a bit too. How did you get that black background, in PP?. New to forum and don't know how some of these things are done.

I agree with the above, the dark bg works well here but I think I'd try cropping a bit more, placing the duckling a somewhat lower in the photos, seems like he's floating a little too high. Otherwise, nicely-done with sharp details, you may also want to do what Dave suggests and lower the contrast some as most folks prefer their little ducklings to be "softer and kinder", but that's just a matter of taste IMO. #2's the pick of the 2 for me...
