Hi John,

I guess that's what they call deductive reasoning!
Nice tight frame & sharp details!

Apart from that, I agree with Lucbus, seems like you're getting better with the scissors. Have you thought of opening a salon?...lol... :))

Well done

See that is why you looked so good in your bathing suit. You share your food with the needy. There is always a reward. Nice capture, very clear and detailed.

I'm quacking up here. ar ar ar :D. She is a lovely lady indeed - but dare I ask how you knew she was a lady? Can you remain a gentleman whilst telling me? Admittedly I don't know much about ducks... :)

Congratulations on your 200th! Did you think you'd stay here this long when you joined TL?

So now you are giving us the bird John! Actually it is a very nice bird. The colours and detail are lovely. The nice tawny browns and black of the feathers are accentuated by the orange beak. Your frame is excellent too. Very nicely done.
Cheers Joan

Very nice formal portrait of le duck! The fine feather textures and sharp darkbrown eye is very nice.

P.S. A man is driving a pick-up truck down the road with a bunch of ducks standing in the back. A police officer pulls over the driver and informs him that he is speeding and then asks him where does he think he's going with all those ducks. The driver says that he just doesn't know what to do anymore. The officer says, "Look, there's a zoo not far from there and that's where you should be taking them. That will take care of your problem." The man thanks the officer and drives off with his ducks.
The next day the officer again sees the pick-up truck once again speeding down the road. This time, though, all the ducks in the back are standing there with sunglasses. The officer pulls over the driver over and says, "I thought I told you to take them to the zoo!" "I did that," said the driver, "but now they want to go to the beach!"


Enjoy
