I give this one an A for composition. Firstly, there are no obvious human artifacts. The lack of an individual subject makes it technically a landscape image, yet the numerous creatures combine to populate, augment and blend with the landscape. It has all the elements of an Eyvind Earle painting - background, landscape, scattered subjects (grazing cows in most Earle paintings) and an overhanging branch to help bring the viewer into the scene. Though I'm sure they were hard to avoid, I'm not so sure whether the ducks contribute or distract...
