BW Water Fowl

[Markw]

Hi all! These were shot in my backyard. The ducks (rehabbing) were thoroughly enjoying their time in the pool! C&C always welcome and appreciated!

I like the ones with the water flipping around. The problem I see is that some of the photos look as if they are printed on a newspaper. Can't explain it. Some hint of a strange texture. The action is nice though.

I like the first, splashy one. A bit tightly framed on top. Not sure about Number Two as a B&W. Nice study of the bird, but looking... taxidermic.

Hmm, I don't quite know what that means..but I have a feeling it's because the whites arent brilliantly white, which they should be. I just noticed and will fix that.

1 isnt a crop, so there's not much I can do about that, to be honest. You would like 2 as a BW if you saw the original color, trust me. .
