    Default Ducklings on a 'gator

    I thought that would get your attention! OK I'll fess up- we don't have 'gators in New Brunswick, but sometimes it looks like we do.

    These are Ring-necked Duck ducklings loafing on a log in the Sackville Waterfowl Park. The park if full of waterfowl broods right now. It is very gratifying to see such productivity.

    The image breaks some of the comp rules, but what are rules for after all?!

    Comments welcome.

    Mean trick, but it worked. :) I like the pano crop, a lower angle would have made it even better.

    Yes, indeed the trick worked :))
    Even in the larger image, until I saw its "tail" tip, I was convinced that it was an alligator indeed !

    Creative eye to see this. I like it for its uniqueness.
