For me it is tranquillity...
Tip for composition or pp?

Giova:

Nice exposure on the whites. Great wing position on the lower, middle bird. Do wish there was a bit more separation of the other two about to land from the reeds in the BG. I do find my eye being pulled from the birds by all the detail in the BG. Might consider slight blurring of dark background.

Cheers

I would crop out eveything above the brown in the BG. To me it would make the picture stronger

Myer:

Interesting observation, and I would agree if it weren't for the two birds up into that area (dark background).
I certainly think your idea is a valid option if Giova doesn't mind losing those two birds.

If the BG birds were in focus then I agree, but to me they are a distraction

Thanks to all
I will ty and I put the both option now. Don't see now the detail (they are a crop only of the web's picture) ..but only for composition.
The original shoot is larger so I could put more snown upper if it could better...

[Giovanni Frescura]

second option...
