Mallard x 10/redo

I don't think Blue-winged Teal breeds in Georgia, so it is unlikely this is one. Plus, the blue patch showing on the wing is much darker than a Blue-winged Teal would show. If there was more yellow in the beak I'd be happy calling this a Mallard. You might want to check what breeds around Atlanta.
This is a nice line up fo chicks, and sharpness looks good. I'd like to see more on top, assuming it is not too distacting.

Richard, I think this is a Mallard.  I found several images of female Mallards with no or very little yellow in their bills.  Thanks!

Nice image, Barbara, unusual cut, but it works excellent . Cheers, Hans

I would vote for mallards. I like the presentation with the wake and reflections. Nice image.

And nine ducklings worth of cuteness.  Pretty amazing, Barbara.  I do notice some anomalies in the canvas addition on the left, but probably only because you mention it.  The primary thing is that the reflection doesn't seem to match the vegetation.  I'm guessing you took several shots of this and if you have any (I know I would) where there's extra space on one end or the other, you might steal that and blend it in for a more realistic look.  The easiest way I've found is to add a ton of extra canvas that you won't really need and copy and paste from the other file into that area.  Then you can clone into the area where you really want it to achieve a nice blend and finish up by cropping to your final dimensions.  I'm sure other people have other solutions that work even easier.

A fun image!  Can't say much about your processing as it is more than I can do!  I do think you could have a bit more room on the right side and on top., or less on the bottom.  It may just be my monitor, but I find it just a bit too dark.  Still, a cute image nicely seen.  thanks for sharing.

A nice panoramic image which I think needs a little more space and slightly brighter.  It doesn't need to be much brighter but just enough to give it a little more definition.  I like the vegetative reflections.  Perhaps this would work as a photo art project also.

Here's a redo on this.  I used Curves to brighten it just a little.  I used Dennis's suggestion to use another frame to get the fill-in for the added canvas on the left.  Dennis, all of what looks like vegetation is reflection of vegetation you can't actually see.  Richard, I went ahead and left more of the clay in, which is not a distraction but not an attraction, either, but it does help this become more a normal crop with more space in it.  I did still stop before the vegetation began, because to me in this image that would have been a distraction.  David, I don't usually use Avian images for photo art, but that's an interesting idea for this one.  It's important to me that the regular image be reasonable, though, because I do think that, as Richard said, this is a nice line-up.  Thanks, everyone!
