Welcome to the Avian Gallery, Gerald. The water in this image is beautiful and I like the relative positions of the ducks. I think the image would be even stronger if they were a bit further to the right in the frame to give them more room to swim into. The rear bird is just slightly soft, so a bit more dof might have also been in order, if you had time to change settings. Your shutter speed was getting pretty low, but you don't mention your iso setting, so it's hard to say how much more dof you might have been able to get. The reflections are wonderful.

Nice image of these ring-necked ducks Gerald. As Dennis mentioned, a little more DOF would have helped. A lower angle would also be preferable.

Nice look, nice colors, nice post Gerald. I find that my 100/400 at its full extension tends to go a touch soft on me sometimes.
