High Stepping Hen

I just thought this was a humorous shot. It's as if she had stepped in something and was trying to shake it off. Comments and critiques welcome.

I like it Jerry, and yes it is fun to see something different. Your timing was right on and I like the detail on the right wing.

Made me laugh so that means you did well. Like the pose and how you isolated it with white all around. No mistaking the subject of this image.

Good grab, Jerry. I'm almost afraid to see what comes out in the next frame.....

My first impression was that she was pretending to be a male dog relieving himself at a fire hydrant! Excellent processing of both the duck AND the background. I love the almost white minimalist background. Ideal composition too.
