This duck is sitting in the pool of a fountain that people throw coins in at the Toledo Zoo.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Personally, I would shift that duck out the water...and you dive in for the cash!........

Would your name then be 'Jim'Bobbin'! .. 'Sniggers'

He's a sitting duck! Just gorgeous. I think you should have asked for a bit bigger smile.

Would he like to meet my duck that I just "sent out"? Very good clarity, Jimbob. He looks slightly puzzled. Did you have your funny hat on - LOL!

I think the duck has been partaking of Everclear JimboB. He is definitely 190 proof clear. Intoxicating shot. It should be in the current contest.

I'll know who to go to if I need to borrow a few quid now. Though he looks as if his interest rates might be a little high. Brilliant work, Jim.

Maybe you could distract him while I grab some of his money. Great clarity and colour in this fine Duck shot, Jimbo. Nice work.

Oh, ain't he a handsome little ducky! Superbly captured and presented, Jimbob! I'm loving all the details and the sheen on his feathers! I think he's giving you the eye =D And, waters like beveled glass! A true show stopper! Faved.
