I understand that it's difficult to ask a specific question as a beginner. However, you're now letting us put in that effort.

From an artistic point of view I like the fact that you used an odd number of birds, and that one is looking in one direction and the other two in the other. The colours seem to be quite bland, though, and the photo lacks sharpness. I like that the background is entirely water, but the green leaf in the lower right corner bugs me a bit. The high angle also makes the viewer look down on the birds, which makes it feel a little distant.
