[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the 'rubber duck' from the KL Duck Race. KL Duck Race is one of the many International Duck Race that is happening all around the world. The event, sounds funny, involves racing "cool" rubber ducks down a local waterway and having members of the community "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prized.

This duck belongs to my friend, and she put it on top of her car dashboard. So I took out my camera and try to capture this duck, with some tall buildings in the background.

I set the aperture size to F/2.8 so that I can create a DOF that the background is blurred and the duck stays sharp and focused.

No post process, no cropping or enhancement. Just resized and added frame to this image.

Thong,

Even if you go all the way to F/8.0 the background will still stay blurred. But then, good job. Quack Quack!

its funny, i like the focus

i like the duck...looks so familiar to me, i think it's on my dashboard...:) good job, looks better than the real rubber duckie.

I am greedy, but I prefer photos in this style!
Fun fun fun
Happy new year
