I like the contrast of the colors and the way the water looks. At first I thought it was unhorizontal but I think the line of the sand makes it look that way. Good capture

The colors, particularly on the water, look bizarre (probably as a result of too much processing).

I bet on number 4. Must have been a proud mother with all those yound ones. I think the image needed to be a little sharper than it is, a lot of the nice detail in the fur got lost.

Great capture! Truly adorable. I would have a play with the color balance as the background water seems a bit unnatural. Not sure if it's the green or the pink/magenta or what but i'm sure it would be a pretty easy fix. I'd crop a tiny bit off the top to get rid of the distracting wave forms in the upper left. Just being constructively picky, hope you don't mind. Love the photo.

I like this a lot, it borders the topic as it takes up more space than I think it should to be minimal, but it works in this instance. good job. 8

I love this, they are so determined to go to the water;-) Amazing focus on all of them, the water is a bit strange and disturbing but still a great picture.

Was this image sharpened a lot?> it looks like it, and the water hurts my eyes; a photos should be pleasing to the eyes, not painful. I like it, but the subjects are also pretty big in the frame. 3

Great photo, although maybe the subject could have taken up a bit less of the scene

The ducklings are cute and colorful, but the water is surreal and harsh.
