To me, this shot is more about the leaves that are in focus. The ducks are too out of focus to be about them. Just my opinion. I like the other picture you had for the contest much better.
Hi Adrienne
Oh its hard to tell! What i like about this one is the lighting is really good and so is the details. Stretch is also nice but I just like this one a little better. Just my opinion!
Take care
