I came back to check what is the story behind this picture. I had no idea such ducks exist. Wonderful titale, I'm laughing all the time :)

Next time you are there try it again (better cropping and quality) and make a print :) I would love to buy it for my children or for my friend as a gift :)

Screams ‘AFLAC, AFLAC’ to me. That was my first impression when I saw it as I smiled. So you meet the challenge with a good sound photo. Lighting, DOF, and focus good. Great job!

Great capture! The angle of the swan's head is definitely that of WTF. Good cropping and nice blurred background.

not sure what's bizarre about it ... would give a 6 instead of a 5 if you hadn't cropped half of the parent out of the photo
