 I am in a handicraft center, and with my camera. I trying to find some interesting people and situations to shoot, before the sun sets for the day. Suddenly I hear some commotion and bunch of school children who had just passed me have become extremely chirpy. I move in the direction to find out what has caught their attention. Ah! A flock of feather!

And I see a man shepherding (or should I say duckerding) these ducks to home. I had not seen something like this before.

I took this picture squatting on my toes right in the middle of the road, just at the moment the flock emerged on to the roads from the side ponds. For me it raised the familiar chicken question: "Why did a duck cross the road?". You might put your answer to it. Mine is simple: "To head home".

Have a great week!

Love
Vikram

Color balance off. Better in B&W.

LOL. I'm going to assume that the yellow tone was intentional, though I don't think it's how I'd have processed this. Great control of lighting.

This has a vintage feel to it for some reason. Cute geese.

Great shot although the colour temperature is a bit too cool. Some more blue would have helped.
