I shot this at the Ithaca get together, which was my first. Spent the afternoon with several area club members and DPCers, shooting in the woods. This one appealed to me, as to my mind at least, it shows something of an intimate, romantic moment between ducks.
...or maybe I'm just nuts...

I would have lightened the shadows ever so slightly in this shot to bring out just a little more detail in the males head.

Good luck in the challenge!

Love the lines in the water, that cut through the ducks... and especially how she contrasts the line.. going against the flow.
