Yet more ducks from the park. These two gangs were getting ready to rumble. But first decided to build up some strength by grubbing around for some food. In the meantime each chose a lookout to make sure nobody made any fast moves and got the jump on them. I did some cropping at the top part of the photo to remove some buildings and vehicles in the background. So I hope that explains why there is so much foreground in the shot. I also did a little manipulation to draw the two ducks on the left closer to the main grouping, and to reduce the width of the photo. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Hey Wendell

Wendell - When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way... You've got a rural West SIde Story thing going here! lol The others, looking casual, are just waiting for the signal from the gang leaders who are staring down, waiting for the first move. WHen the feathers start to fly - look out! Thad

It looked like they are on some strike, lol. Which gang won in the end?

Good shot of the birds.

Ohhh...they look serious, Wendell! Wonderful capture of these two gangs! Their orange webbed feet really stand out, and I especially like the tall grasses as the backdrop! Just a thought, but I wonder what it would look like if you cropped more of the bottom and used more black frame. Excellent work!
