Neat shot. A little pushing match to see who is boss? All the techs look good. The darker lines on the pond embankment in the upper right half keep tugging at my eye. I don't think a crop is desirable, but perhaps healing them out of existence might keep us focused on the fowl play here :wink: (sorry couldn't resist). Nice work as always. :toast:

I can't think of a better title but the shot and the behavior is great. Well done Duckman! :toast:

Nice image, Jerry.
The interaction between the two is very nice.
Great colors.

A fun image! The embankment is unfortunate, but way to massive to try to change with it. Besides, the humor sells this! :smile:

Looks like Sumo wrestlers to me, Jerry. Great interaction and your techs are spot on.
