Very nice shot Billy - beautiful background to set off the blue of the eyes and the red of the face.

LOL, I would like to see you get some ducks in your studio and take some pictures. I told Gracie that this next week we were going to have to take pictures and she looked at me and rolled over on her back, I trained her to do that. Dig out a duck picture John.

Not a headshot, but here's one of my favorite duck pictures. I didn't use to like the female mallards but after I took this shot I really started to like them.

Muscovy Ducks start out cute, and get progressively uglier....

This guys thinks he's Don Juan, I think...
