 I actually had these ducks lined up for a frontal/diagnal view, but was working on different angles and came up with this one. The pun just stuck out at me, so I had to enter it.

Natural light.

Not too much editing on this one...

The lack of focus severely hurts the impact.

Nice concept, composition, DOF, and title. A touch more saturation might help. I'm looking for a face, but that might ruin the tale. I still like it.

a little noisy, but I like the feel. Wish there could've been one more duck on the end to fill up that space.

Would have like the blue duck in sharper focus. Not bad.
