Nice comments, thanks. I thought the key to this photo was the simplicity and the very few props used. And most of all - it has skiing in it! (I love skiing) Peas worked well as fat powder skis.

Someone requested DQ on this. I will be very sad if they succeed. The background photo is for the context, the skiers are tiny and IMHO they do not attract attention away from the Ducky - the Star of the show. Go Ducky! (forward! not backwards, Bohemka :))

Oh, well, the cloud of DQ is still hanging over the little skiing Ducky. But he is doing nice turns with these powder skis! Even a bit of air. Going up and up with the score.. Will he crash??

PS The current score is 6.4414 (after 111 votes)

No DQ!! Ducky keeps on skiing! Will he make Top 10?
YES!! #8 and PB!!

Visited this again, it's brilliant. The sum of the parts is so transparent, it's not until I looked again did I really appreciate how clever you have been.
Awesome job. Sure, he's about to ski backwards off the peak, but he's prepared, with his rope and radish helmet. Honestly a radish helmet might be the safest of all, as who the heck would eat them? Nice poles, great skis. Awesome job on this.
