it's the eyes..... they're looking right at us. Penny Street

Thank you, Rod. That's extremely kind of you. It's really not me... it's the model. He's a charmer. grin ~Lydia

Rod		02-May-2008 09:26
Heading into the second week this picy stands the test of time & still looks good. How you made a great picy out of this is beyond me, maybe there's an artiiiiiist in that scrapbooking head of yours:-)

Canon DSLR Challenge		29-Apr-2008 01:29
Thanks. grin ~Lydia

Nice one Lydia. theFly

Rod		26-Apr-2008 06:07
This picy needs bugger all done to it......Touch it Lydia & I might have to send someone around to slap yer wrists:-)

ctfchallenge		26-Apr-2008 01:27
Hmmm... do you think it needs deeper blues or contrast then, Tom? What will solve this "sucking" problem? slight smile of mirth It looks totally different in day vs night on my monitor. Weird. Thank you for your comments, dt and Carole! ~Lydia

On first take, I saw the yellow being sucked into the blue green. On second take it made me chuckle. Lydia, this plays with perceptual spatial relationships of the duck in relation to the picture plane. In visual terms, the current proportions make it seem to be receding into the picture plane and effectively adds tension as we feel the poor ducky is sinking. If you want to make it seem like a very good day, try cropping off some of the pool to control the amount of tension. All in all, very nicely executed. -tv

Very cute Lydia, almost cartoonish with the pastel colors and soft look! :-) CJ

I knew this was yours the moment I saw it! Very nice. dtallakson

ctfchallenge		25-Apr-2008 02:05
Yup. You caught me, Doug. I made this up in my mind. It's not actually here. grin (many thanks) ~Lydia

ctfchallenge		25-Apr-2008 02:02
Dang Lydia, it's almost like you anticipate the topic. So quick with what seem to be thought out shots. Nifty little duck shot here. Is it possible that it is photographed so well that it looks artificial? Good stuff. -COAmature

Awwww... blush Thanks, aam! You made my day. LOL, Charlie. Tell. grin Come on, Rod. WHO doesn't like a happy rubber duckie?!? smile ~Lydia

aam1234		25-Apr-2008 01:16
Indeed. And I'm awfully jealous.

Rod		24-Apr-2008 23:40
I hope Lydia doesn't turn silly shots into an ahrt form.......She's getting awfully close:-)

Charlie Beck		24-Apr-2008 19:39
Our daughters are out on their own, so I couldn't steal their rubber duckies, and I'll not admit whether I have one of my own. LOL. I wouldn't be able to do this well, though, so I'll keep looking for some other prop to steal.

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 18:59
Debi, I stole this one out of my daughter's closet. Don't you have people you can steal from?? grin ~Lydia

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 18:52
It was just thought unlike Lydia I dont have unlimited props. I have to buy a duckie - Debi

aam1234		24-Apr-2008 17:24
Me too. Come one, Debi.

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 17:23
Fantastic colors, Lydia. I like the neon-like effect, the centered composition works fine here. Now I cannot wait to see Debi's shot too ;-) -Gerald

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 17:05
oh Lydia, dear Lydia. I just knew it! Very cute. Penny Street

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 16:49
Thanks, aam. I was posting at the same time as you... didn't mean to be rude and not thank you. smile The frame, too? Bingo! Thanks much. ~Lydia

aam1234		24-Apr-2008 16:47
Btw, I like the frame too.

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 16:47
Oops. I'm sorry, Debi... grin It was the first thing that came to my/our mind. grin again You should post yours, too. I'm sure they'll be entirely different. Plus... maybe they'll fall in love and have little baby rubber duckies... . smile The tilt is there on purpose... for manly tension so the guys will like such a "girlie photo". :) ~Lydia

aam1234		24-Apr-2008 16:47
The lady never ceases to impress. Very well done.

ctfchallenge		24-Apr-2008 16:30
Just because we are one doesnt mean you can steal my ideas - good one - I just want it rotated a tad - but it may be only me -
