From the Critique Club:

I find this image overall cramped. The foreground (water) would be better if it was smooth and had the reflections of the birds. It would indeed make them appear larger. I would have cropped all of that away. And opened the top off and not cropped off the background trees. Everything is nicely in focus. The grass seems a bit busy and ie like before if it was not in the center of the image it would look less busy to me. Nice black and white image. Nice birds that have a nice contrasting color. I would have liked to seen the birds cropped a little bit closer. That way you can see all the details and tones of their bodies. Otherwise it is a nice image.

Very nice contrast and detail on the wing feathers. A little less centering of the strip the birds are on may have created less static with the image. 8

I like this. There's a couple things I think would have made it work a bit better. First, I think the line where the grass and water meet could use some slight straightening. Second, like the title says, these birds are BIG. They're also tall and as it is they look awefully cramped with nowhere to fly. I think subtracting about half the water in front of the picture and adding that much background back into it would have really opened this up. Nice birds and nice shot.
