Nice work Rob! I like the way you have embossed the image to show the main area of interest. Works great as a desktop. You have cropped to a perfect composition:-)
Of the two posted so far this is my favorite. I like the croping as well as the "Embossing effect" To us old geezers this is known as Bas-Relief. A darkroom process that took about two days. Thank goodness for computers today! Super image Rob

Photography is not a trade - it is an art. It is more that an art.
It is a solar phenomenon,
where the artist collaborates with the sun.

What a great duck image. ducks are not my personal favorite among our feathered friends, but this shot is so appealing. I also agree that the Bas-Relief/Embossing effect works exceptionally well with this image. You do have that magic touch. :)
Well folks... this is a bit of a departure to be sure. I'm pleased with your comments on "Mallards in Context" and grateful. The measure of the success of ideas is not in their presence but in the adoption. *wink*
What a precious photo! Beautiful background idea and perfect colours on these duckies. I had not seen this photo of yours before, so this was a nice surprise on the opening of caedes today. I love how you were able to get the Mallards in motion! Just a lovely framed shot...ooopsss wrong word for these! Verena
they look like they are travelling or just walking their ways... i don't want to be here anymore, good bye LOL, such a cute shot... do you have the original shot?
