The thumbnail certainly doesn't do the image justice. Three pin sharp ducks in flight - and beautifully expose, quite an achievement I reckon! Yes the ducks are excellent , I also like the background, it is busy but well out of focus and I really like the yellow flowers at he base.
Tough to get three birds with good wing positions, flight angles, and nicely composed. This does it. Very well captured. Background works nicely for me. It might take just the tiniest bit of additional sharpening on the birds.
very cool to get all three reasonably sharp and with a good wing position. nice colors on the ducks. I might tone down the BG a bit and try to get more detail in the blacks
