You have made my day John. How can one not smile at this beautiful sight. His clarity, lighting and composition are perfect but the best is that he looks like he's smiling with us. How grand is that. Thank you SO for sharing him with us and making my day brighter.

Well, first of all, I saved it. It's a keeper. Second of all, you got a winner here. This is really great. Third of all, he ain't smiling. He's in the process of "cutting a big one". I mean look at him, he's leaning way over. I'll bet had you included his hind portion in this "composition" you would see a trail of bubbles coming out from under those tail feathers. I know what's going on here. You ain't gonna fool me. Bye!

Boy do I love this site ... it's so comforting being among noble friends who for the most part are as zany as me. Thanks so much for the comments. I'm impressed with some of the interpretations ... such as Pat (mesmorized) picturing a female duck on the make for old Muggsy, and Pat (Andre) insinuating this cute creature is "farting" off camera ... and as for John's (Burt Lahr) wondering if the duck understood my joke ... Let me make it clear that my tickling the duck under the wingpit had absolutely nothing to do with it's smiling. Thanks again everyone ... I meant it when I said I love this site ... it's never boring ... and an awful lot of fun.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

I see precisely what he's doing. There is a splash of water in his face and he's blinking his eyes to keep them from getting wet. The clarity is so great in this and the water is so darn blue it's incredible.

I know why he's smiling ... while you're busy photographing him, his friends are pooping on your car! :)) Great shot, John - you made me smile!!
