Good sense of motion here, keeping the main subject clear - well done!

Well executed, but with two of them in the picture my attention jumps from one to another one instead of focusing on one subject.

Very pretty photo. Looks more like frozen motion with short DOF than panned motion, though.

DOF is just a little too shallow to capture both birds sharply. She's beautifully clear, 'twould be lovely if he were the same :)
IMO, having the subjects left of center may have given an even stronger impression of movement, as if they had just entered the frame and were on their way across it, actually moving as we watch. Does that make sense?
The background colours are lovely :)

The ducks are so sharp! Maybe the colors of the backround could have been a bit more colorful. But with basic editing it`s not that easy. 8

best shot I've seen so far I think. And I've seen 75% of the shots so I think that puts you pretty high up.

the panning effect is not that visible in this picture because the background is too far away and it gets blured
nice shot

A nice capture, you´ve almost managed to get both into a nice focus, too bad about basic editing or the eye of the male could have been brought out with a tiny dodging...well done anyway, I know how difficult it is to catch such a moment..
