Did someone say Duck Soup?? Well composed and presented my friend. BTW, I have loved your Zoo Series, I have been just so busy with work that I haven't had time to take any pictures or even get online and comment on friends images.

Best Regards

As we say in South Africa, and in Afrikaans.(it`s not a swear word), "Bliksem, but there is a moer `n lot of ducks here." Fantastic composition, looks just like a poster.
Thanx for sharing.........Russell

Thanks for stopping by Sam . . . and I relate to the 'busy' bit. Still . . . I'm patient . . . Uhhhhhhh . . . I'll leave 'em for you to get to when you have time. As long as you're not waiting for a good one to comment on before nit-picking . . . uhhhhh . . . critically analyzing another one. (Might be a long wait)! :)

Quack! interesting how the same specie looks so identical, its looks as if you just added more ducks by copying them.. : ) nice patterns...
nice capture Doyle...


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 3/3/2007
Thanks Bobot! Actually, I had to crop out about two hundred ducks to get this . . . well . . . it might have been 187 ducks . . . :) They DO look alike and they keep moving about! Thanks!

Michele Carlsen   {K:143690} 3/8/2007
I love this composition Doyle . A fine job of getting so many entire bodies of these ducks , and also of croping out others in a way that leaves a well composed image of motion !!!
7/7
Best wishes,
Michele~
