Dave, a truly stunning image…:+1::+1:

You really nailed the focus, exposure and depth of field, Dave. Excellent job getting both in fine focus.

This needs to be seen large in order to see improved popping of the ducks against their environment. I think it could use a 0.3° counterclockwise rotation and perhaps a little less blue in the saturation.

Birds look good and sharp. I also noted that the image was a bit off-level. Background is a little busy, and I agree that the blues could be reduced. I’d much prefer that the birds were flying toward you.
