Get your minds out of the gutter!! This is another shot of the Wood Duck I got while out at one of the local parks yesterday.

[Shadowman]

Nice, the chuckle also.

Nice image, nice reflection Brian. I bet you could flip that vertically and not see much difference.

Take another image from the series to use and get rid of the distracting lily pads...tis a hanger for sure.

[Tom Barry]

Very nice indeed.

[Texas Dave]

Yep, I agree, wall hanger for sure! Beautifully done Brian!

[IzzieK]

This time I agree with William...the pad under the beak is a bit distracting...

And oh...before you grizzle at me for my mind being in the gutter, I am already deep down in it even before you say another word.

very nice Brian, and I was expecting a woodpecker !

[Barbara Ponder]

Nice one!

Thanks, all. I didn't really notice the lily pad right behind the head. I think the others kind of add texture to the shot. I think I could get rid of the pad directly behind the head and tone down the others to make them less distracting. I really like this shot but don't know if I can enlarge it enough for a wall hanger. It is highly cropped and if I go too big, it will pixelate for sure. I did go back to the original and add a very slight vignette to give it a little more depth and focus on the duck.

BTW, Izzie, my mind is usually right there with yours when I see a headline like that. That was part of how I came up with that.
