[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were walking beside a small pond at the local University. I saw these four ducks and moved in for a shot. As I got close, they all four decided to "duck" and show me their soft sides :-)

Have a great day,
Stephen

I think Werewolf said everything best with the duck dialogue...hehe.
This is truly hilarious and great timing(or not)with a great butt composition.
I give you my points for this shot and for the simplistic hilarious title of "Duck Butts" Great exposure...hehe, I just thought how that has a double meaning here, but(not butt)I am at this time referring to the light exposure and the great detail/reflective quality of the water.
Thanks for the laugh...

LOOOOOOL.

I can't believe I am seeing this!! You've caught then all in action!! They look like syncronised swimmers at the olympics!! Waht a great shot, everything is so clear and the movement in the water is great also!!
Well done Stephen! Very well done :-)))

Hey, Stephen, the shot is great and the note.. LOL!!!

but what a great shot!!

Hi Stephen! No respect, eh? A wonderfully funny shot! Unique though, as none of the other Trek shots show those sides of the ducks' anatomy! Glad you posted it. I really like the water all roiling around them. Great fun! Thanks!

This is one of those prized moments that a photographer looks for all his life! (And I love WereWolf's dialog)
Just so funny...a real "laugh out loud" good feeling photograph.
Well composed and perfect focus and colors. Thanks for the smile today....:O)
