 80-200mm set at 154mm. I dodged a little on the green heads of the male ducks to brighten them a little more. I think they blend with the green grass pretty good. And I wonder why their feet are orange? I sharpened it a little as well.

I don't find the image very interesting, not because of the subject matter. In fact I believe that anything in this world can be photographed beautifully.
The photograph looks like a mess. Birds are every where and your eyes are moving arr around. There's nothing that really grabs your attention. I think if you had waited or were able to capture maybe just one bird sharp in focus (in an interesting way) and forget about the rest, it would have made the image much stronger. The way it is now, I actually don't know what I should be looking at or what the image is about.
Hope take more shots and experiment with different settings. Best of luck.

The ducks blend in to the background which makes this photo hard to look at for too long.

A tighter shot of one or two of the ducks would have made this a stronger shot

You've oversaturated the colours leading to a situation where I can hardly make out the ducks. 3

a bit too busy, the ducks are beginning to blend in rather than stand out of the landscape.

Though a somewhat accurate depiction, for a calendar I'm afraid it wouldn't work. The quackers don't stand out against the bg.

the greens compete - makes it hard to see the ducks - desaturate the grass a liltte and then resaturate the head wit the sponge tool?
