Thank you. I did find tons of ducks online. I didn't realize there was such a variety. I was just surprised that my first stop, Toys R Us didn't have any. It's like not having milk in the grocery store as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you all. I'm glad so many people really liked my photo. In case anyone was interested this scene was photographed with a regular table lamp (100w bulb) lighting the background and a clamp-on shop light (100w bulb) lighting the foreground duck. On the camera a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro. The foreground duck is less than a foot away from the lens to fill the frame and the background ducks, which are roughly the same size as the foreground duck, are placed about three feet behind so they appear smaller.

It never would have occurred to me, I'd never heard of the movie Duck Soup before the voting period began. Er... um... I mean, yes, I planned it that way. :)

I actually had just one duck at home. I keep him above the shower but he's so old, cracked, and faded that he doesn't look good on camera. After I got the idea I went to four different stores looking for ducks with the right look. First three either didn't have them or had ducks with the wrong look. Luckily the fourth store had decent ducks for my project and I bought all they had. I hope I haven't denied a child some fun in the tub.

Yes, yes I am. But that has nothing to do with the photo. ;)

Again, thank you all.
