 My original idea for this challenge did not work out, as I could not find the right style of rubber duck. Amazing how difficult it can be to find such a prop, even in a large city. Here's the inspiration for my idea that did not come about I was almost ready to do a photo of myself in a toy store with my camera, titled "Duck Hunting". When I am otherwise starved for inspiration, I do a shoehorn entry. So, here you go.

Pre-challenge notes:
Guessing perhaps a high 4 or low 5 for this. Some will like the humor and quite a few should recognize it as mine. It's better than some of my previous shoehorn entries, but I still have trouble with glare on the shoehorn itself. I think I need to diffuse or bounce the light. I'm learning with each defeat.

Post-challenge notes:
Well, this came in a little higher than I had hoped for and is now the highest scoring of my "shoehorn entries". Yessssssss!!
