My wife used to manage a Duckhead store, so this is dedicated to her. I bought shirts there with little duck heads on the shirt. When I was younger I wore ones with little alligators. Now they have swooshes, guys on horses playing polo and others too numerous to mention.

Now I am more interested in how they fit as opposed to how they look. I prefer shirts now that don't show drool or other spilled objects, but I haven't found one yet. It sucks to get old. Maybe they need an old wrinkled face on shirts now. Just saying.

This is a contestant for the the current contest. If I don't forget like I did the last contest. Mmmmmm, maybe a shirt with a ? would be the perfect.

An excellent capture & contest entry, Tick. Sure do love the focus on the duck's eye & the feather detail. I can relate to your narrative as well ... lately I'm into t-shirts that have deer on them. Best wishes in the contest.

Neat shot, Tick. What's he hiding in his beak, or did you disturb his nap?

How about a T-shirt with "Tell me what I have forgotten" Tick? I missed my entry too last time because I posted my image only "10 hours" before closing time and so it didn't appear in the "New Images". Good entry with the duckhead.

I once wore a Polo to a Family function and my Old Uncle said I like your Crawfish Logo. I looked down and it happen to be a Boiled Crawfish I had dropped on my shirt.

Now if I could just learn to Sew.

BOL with the Highly detailed Duck Head Tick.

Tick - You may have created a market for my 'shirt with snap on bibs for seniors'. We tie bibs on infants - why not on those at the other end of the age spectrum? The prototype of the shirt with water and wiper blade didn't work out as well as originally thought. It cleaned the short just fine, but, it appeared that the wearer had some incontinence issues when he stood up. ;-) This mallard is a fine entry in the contest. Best of luck. Thad

It really is a duck's head. I was expecting it to be a pun. This is a great close-up with great colour and focus.

Great detail in this close-up Tick. I love those mallard colours and they are brought out perfectly in this. He looks very restful.
A worthy contest entry

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

He's gone all shy! it looks like you've ticked him off Tic . )o; . bullying him with that big lens of yours no doubt!

If you enter him into the competition I hope you've signed him into a beneficial contract .... what's 50% of nothing? either way please be generous. (o:
