 I don't expect an excellent score, but I'm hoping for a laugh or two.

It took some patience to stick around until both butts went into the air simotaneously. My parrot, who was poking around by the water with me during the photo shoot, found the ducks to be hilarious (quote him: "Hah-ah-ah-ah -wolf-whistle- ha-ah-ah!")
After taking this shot, I see that for once, his choice expression seemed appropriate.

Cropped slightly and the contrast bumped up a smidgen.

I get the triangles. For me this just isn't a very exciting subject and all the colors seem so bland that there is no pop to the picture.

A good example of visual echoing (and synchronized swimming). It's a good catch and quick reaction time in your part. BTW, if you have a chance to do this again, do this experiment: move around (quickly or you might lose them) to make them more diagonal (more deeply slanted), then focus on the first duck with the second duck at the back a little bit out of focus - probably use a lower aperture number to make the depth of field shallower. You will find the second unfocused duck like an echo.

How did you get them to both pose like that at the same time? Just joking. Very good job!

Nice photo... I esp. like the feather design on the duck on the right.

Interesting take here, but I feel the picture is a little on the flat side. One possible tack here might be to do levels adjust to whiten the background, much like the shot exemplified by the winner of the light on white challenge.
