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.

I had the same problem with the green leaf and was toying with editing it out but I liked the fact that it showed the viewer that there was still some green and it isn't fully autumn, so decided to leave it in. I know what you mean though it draws your eye away from the main focus of the photo.
I totally agree with the high angle I didn’t notice that before, it makes it feel like your observing the birds instead of seeing it from their perspective. So if I were to take this photograph again, you would suggest getting down to a lower level, looking at them straight on?
But what about sharpness…..how can I improve that when taking the photo? Or is it just a case of sharpening it in the editing software??
Thank you again for your insight it’s very helpful.
