JMO...but I think the shot would have better composure shot in vertical..That would give you the tighter crop on the birds and the reflection..

I agree on the vertical crop. The reflection is a major point of interest in the original photo.

I agree I think the shot would look great in the vertical so that the reflection showed. But a very nice picture.

I believe when they say "on the vertical" that on the original photo you should crop off the excess on either side of the ducks and leave the reflection on the water in the picture.

The second picture is well cropped (zoomed in or cropped in a photo editor?). Turning the camera on its side or chopping off the sides of the first photo in a photo editor will give you a vertical shape, ie the right and left sides are longer than the top and bottom sides. Also called an upright or portrait format. The first picture has a landscape format. Keep shooting, but also keep reading/asking. The basics are very important to understand and improve your photography.
