Well here goes, turn the front duck out a little so he is leaving as he is the outcast soft light him and maybe show a bit more of the poor fellow, spot light the two in the background with hard light as they are the bad dudes, come up a little to see more of the bad ones, and darken down the background, bit of a lighting exercise, but trust me......
Just trying to help

Shooting in a studio or controled lighting area is very different to shooting outside, I will try and put together a list of all the little bits a studio should have on hand, most of which you make, or are very cheap.....

Fantastic.........a lot better.........with studio work everyone has a different opion of what works and what does not. It is up to the creator of the image to decide what the final image will be, but taking on various bits of helpful information along the way so the final image will please the masses, not just a few. Your work in the studio is improving so keep going, copy other still lifes or people pix, the more you shoot the more you will understand what each flash will do, and the more you shoot the less flash heads you will use, some of the best studio work I have seen has been done with 1 to 2 flash heads and little reflectors to add a highlight here and there. One of the best reflectors is alfoil on a bit of cardboard.

I personLLY would prefer to see the back two ducks in better focus. Understandably you want the focus and sympathy on the front duck, but I think that the back two ducks are important enough to the scene to have them relatively sharp focus. Any particular reason for blurring them out?
I also wouldn't mind seeing a scene that shows more space in front of the outcast to portray his solitude. Of course, this is me being sort of finnicky (is that a word?)
