I like the sky and the inclusion of habitat Paolo. I wish that the birds were flying towards us and that the sharpness was a little better. I would consider cloning out the piece of wing in the URC.

This is a really interesting image Paolo. I really like the colour and contrast, and the the duck rear-ends are a nice out of the box rendition! I can't figure out why the mallard wings are green!

The only thing I would consider is cropping the sky from the top so that the flock of ducks fills the frame.

The mallard wings are green because of the reflex of the water which was that green.

Hi Paolo - If the birds were flying towards us rather than away from us, would be a big improvement.
Like the Sky and composition is good.
Looking forward to seeing more :)

I agree...seeing some faces here would make for a much stronger image. As it is I find it hard to find a focal point for my eyes to rest on.
