Weak Support a very well-executed image. However, as Noodle snacks mentioned, there is some halation around the heads of the ducks, which may mislead viewers into thinking they are angels (just kidding). Also, the reeds or whatever in the top left corner are annoying and could be cloned out. Since ducks are common and widely photographed [1], this needs to really stand out!
