Taking nothing away from the Blue Ribbon winner...I gotta tell ya, this one placed one behind where it should have been. This is too darned good. Congrats! It made me smile and then chuckle then laugh out loud! Excellent techs on the image to boot! Great job!
i can get you all the ducks you need, with just about any expression, actors, sports figures, musicians, and even the run of the mill standard duck
congrats
Thank you. I did find tons of ducks online. I didn't realize there was such a variety. I was just surprised that my first stop, Toys R Us didn't have any. It's like not having milk in the grocery store as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you all. I'm glad so many people really liked my photo. In case anyone was interested this scene was photographed with a regular table lamp (100w bulb) lighting the background and a clamp-on shop light (100w bulb) lighting the foreground duck. On the camera a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro. The foreground duck is less than a foot away from the lens to fill the frame and the background ducks, which are roughly the same size as the foreground duck, are placed about three feet behind so they appear smaller.

It never would have occurred to me, I'd never heard of the movie Duck Soup before the voting period began. Er... um... I mean, yes, I planned it that way. :)

I actually had just one duck at home. I keep him above the shower but he's so old, cracked, and faded that he doesn't look good on camera. After I got the idea I went to four different stores looking for ducks with the right look. First three either didn't have them or had ducks with the wrong look. Luckily the fourth store had decent ducks for my project and I bought all they had. I hope I haven't denied a child some fun in the tub.

Yes, yes I am. But that has nothing to do with the photo. ;)
Congrats on this one, I was really hoping it was up for a ribbon :) Usually I am not fond of shots with toys or figurines, but this one was a real exception :) A very well deserved ribbon indeed :)
A simple, but very clever idea. It is amazing what you can find in the house to make these challenges work. My daughter has a family of these ducklings, and I would never have dreamed this up. Great job, a 9
This photo made me smile and I think the title is great. Perfect use of distorting the background. The viewer's eye is drawn straight to the eye of the duck in the foreground. Great photo. Could probably be used for an add.
this is my favourite! i cant believe how appropiate the look on the ducks face is! i hope the people how havent read the challenge properly dont mark you down for it " not relating to the movie", yours is brilliant. 10
This shot makes me laugh like those duck posters so popular in the 80's
Also it makes me believe the conspiracy exists.
Those evil ducks are out to get me!!! 8 from me
Well done cheers
