This would turn out better photoshopped, but since I am not a photoshop fan, I tried it the ole fashioned way.

Very nice pic Bone. One of those pictures that looks almost unreal

Thanks guys.   My daughter was standing next to me too, so it was even more fun than normal.   We had one drake almsot land on our heads from behind.   Fun evening.

Amazing how you got just the right angle to get all the drakes colors displayed. Very nice!

That's cool, Bone!

If you dont PS, how do you edit your photo's?  :dunno:
iPhoto, or Lightroom.
I've had Photoshop, and hated it.  The edits are destructive, so you actually have to make a copy of every image before you photoshop it, so that you have an original to go back to.  That just seems primitive to me.

Tom is right, I wish I had lightroom.  I do have photoshop and do minimal adjustments with it.   Mostly size for on here and occasionally some adjustments to adjust for "bad light".   WHat I meant was its not "created" by photoshop.   In other words, its a real photo.   I can take one of my moon images, and paste a duck in front of it and it would be creative and cool, but not real to me.    Does that makes sense?  You can do really cool things with photo programs.   I like as natural of a pic as I can get.
