Roof Duck

We don't have roof rats....we have roof ducks. This goofy black whistler was on my roof the other day. He/she proceeded to walk the length of my roof...quite a distance. He never hopped or flew....just walked slowly, as if to take in all his surroundings from such a lofty view. :biggrin:

Nice, Lucy--but it's not all what it's quacked up to be :razz:
I like your comp here, but i dont care for the posterized sky (alhtough i dont mind the rest of the posterization) id probably prefer a smooth gradient in the sky. :wavey:

I like your unusual processing here. The spots in the sky seem to frame the bird, which adds to the impact. I like the angle o the head - kinda makes me laugh. :biggrin:
