I liked the symmetry between the duck and chicks and the large and small rocks.

Good environmental image of the duck. I think you made the best use of the still water - the reflections add a lot to the image. Lighting is very good too. Not sure if this is full frame, but I might move the duck a little more to the left - to me it looks a little tight on the right edge.
Very nice image. I might add just a bit more on the right so the duck does not seem so tight in the frame. You may consider toning down the reeds around the duck a bit. Might make the duck pop out a bit more. The rocks make this for me. thanks for sharing.
Very nice capture of this environment. I too like the symmetry with the rocks and the mother duck and chicks. My only thought would be to tone down the blue a bit. Tends to dominate the frame.
Superb family, behavioral, and environmental capture. I really like the comp. I do agree with Keith about reducing the blue saturation a bit.
Sorry to be so late at this, Allen. I love the composition. You might play with bringing the exposure on the duck and chicks up a bit more and possibly lowering the exposure on the smaller rock to make the eye go to the birds more positively. A very cool image.
