the chicks are adorable, too bad you weren't able to get a closer shot of them. :)
The focus seems soft, but my camera takes such shots as well, so I empathize!
Birds are hard to shoot, without scaring them off, I can appreciate that. But I do wish this shot was a little bit sharper, looks like a digital zoom image, or a tight crop from a larger picture.
Backlighting from the sun caused the water to be perfectly exposed and the ducks, the main subjects of the shot, to be quite dark. Try spot-metering on the ducks, or the ground right in front of them.
