Thank you Morris. I wish, one day they will fly towards me, just as the picture that you had recently posted.

Great capture. The blue in their wings is beautiful.

I will offer more c in my c&c than the others. First, I feel the saturation and contrast are a bit too strong for my taste. The white feathers are losing detail. I also think the crop is a little awkward. The duck on the left is the sharper of the two yet my eye goes to the one further in the frame with the reflection. Is there are any more to the original or is this uncropped?

Thank you so much for the critic. I really appreciate that. I was wondering about the duck on the right, which is slightly out of focus. Saturation and contrast are just as they came out of the camera.

Here is an edited version. I have cloned out one duck. I had another version where I had cropped out the right duck, but then the left duck was boxed in the frame.

Will appreciate your C&C again, if you have time.

I guess I would like to know what 'just as they came out of the camera' means. Is this a jpeg? If so, what were your in camera settings including picture control? If you shot raw and used some type of default conversion, then that could be important, too. I ask all this because the saturation still seems high or, at least, I would probably try to tone it down a little if this were my image. The duck looks great just needs a milder setting to kind of let it shine. Just my opinion. I do like it better without the out of focus duck. I would also suggest not to get hung up about including the reflection if you are. I would just see the duck as my subject and pp and crop the rest accordingly. My c and c can be longwinded but there you go.
