Mallard Mania

[denise ippolito]

I took this image of an incoming Mallard , then did several brush strokes and poster effects-then cloned birds at low opacity to produce multiples in BG. Thought it looked different!

[Julie Kenward]

Denise, that is an absolute riot! I think the only thing that would make it even better would be if none of the BG ducks were multiples...then you'd really feel like the whole flock was coming at you!

Cool stuff!

[Gus Cobos]

Nicely done Lady Denise,
I like it, it's different, and I like different...:D Suggestion...if you were to eliminate the two ducks at the top, would that give the composition more of a punch...try it and see how it looks to you...good show...:):cool:

I like this one Denise....agree a bit about the multiples, if they were just a little different...but the centre duck is awesome.

Do you prefer this one?

[Dave Mills]

Hi Denise...yes I do! Not to take away from your creativity(which is abundant) but my personal preference is simplicity. As presented I like everything about it. I really like the graphic look to it,sharpness, backround and positioning of the subject in the image.....nice..
