Something scared them *

Sweden

Another kind of flight, these guys took off in a spray of water.
A fourth Mallard scared them, an angry one bossing everyone around.
Better flee than get bitten in the tail feathers.

I think this was great idea, the picture is sharp and the movement is excellent. I find it to be a little too busy for me, but that is just a personal opinion.

I agree, I would have liked more space on the left. The picture is only cropped on the right. I could clone in some more space, but frankly I'm not sure I like the image enough to make the effort. If I can't come up with some other entry maybe... :-)

Nice image... only suggestion I can think of is to give them somewhere to go, they seem to cramped to me on the left side (and less so on the top), crop it out a little farther if you can?
