It's a nice shot, but I would agree with Gareth, crop out some of the foreground. In addition I would consider cropping the left side, something like this:

I agree with the above - but well done on capturing these little guys with good focus. I was trying to photo a gosling or two a couple of weeks ago, but they can really shift! and with them being so small I really struggled to get any decent shots.

Nice work

I think I'd probably disagree, the left hand duckling doesn't add anything for me. The beak is hidden which makes it look a bit odd anyway. Also the in-focus duckling would be too central if you include the left hand one.

We will have to agree to disagree here as i feel half a duckling is worse than a whole duckling

Also the little thing is clearly feeding and balances the shot.
The other option i suppose would be to crop him out completely.

(thanks for the input by the way always appreciated)
