I like this uncropped version better.  As the distant ducks, which are out of focus, are not noticed so much.

At the risk of making you angry (because you did not ask for suggestions on changes to this photo, but I don't care) may I suggest this?



A proper crop and a tiny bit of PS to clean up some leftover duck parts.

Gary--I'm not at all upset at your crop of the photo; I like the result.  As I said, I have no art or design background, so any suggestions are welcome.  It hadn't occurred to me to crop birds within the photo to bring them out....you've taught me something, and I appreciate it.  Thank you!

The crop's a good job but I can't see any ducks?
