 Definiton: sitting duck n. Informal. An easy target or victim.
It looked like these two love ducks were about to be disturbed. Local park, kind of overcast. Not sure how it will do, but I love it!
Crop, levels, contrast, sat, cloned out a couple of specks in water, dodged the white feathers, resized and saved for web.

Awww. I love this photo Dawn. I am always drawn to great duck photos. And one of my favorite things to shoot. Amazing reflection!

This would have been so much better if the top left duck wasn't in this image, and maybe cropping the top section off, would have made this image sing.....
