I Couldn't decide which contest to enter "Refraction Of Light" or "Children's Toy" so I decided to do both as an added twist. Then I had to decide which challenge to enter it in. Even though there were more entries in the Children's toy challenge I thought the subject of my picture more aptly suited the more popular challenge. Besides I didn't get a chance to enter the "Rubber Duckie" Challenge!
I came up with this idea about 4 hours before the deadline. The technique is not an original one but I hadn't tried it before. There are a few artifacts that I would like to have improved upon but did not have the time to make the changes in the setup or the opportunity under the "basic rules" to correct them on the computer. None-the-less I am pretty pleased with the results.

There is a commonly held myth of something good that 'more is better.' This photo manages to turn that myth on its head. For a year or so I have found the rubber duck to be one of the most photographically unsatisfying objects of common use on this site. I have viewed it as some do litter. Here, however, by duplicating it a hundred times over you have diminished its ills accordingly and you have magically redeemed the object. Nice photo. Good Job.
