I love how sharply these 3 stand out from the background, and how they are all in different positions. And that I actually got catchlights for all of them from a good distance away! I kind of like this better with a wider crop, but I think for the challenge people will want to see more detail on the ducks, if they are the sort of people who like to see ducks at all.
PP - converted from RAW, rotated slightly, cropped, 2nd layer (dodge ducks, merge in multiply mode), dodged ducks some more, increased contrast and saturation, added border, resized, sharpened with slight noise reduction.
