I love this image cause even though I realize ducks cannot smile. It sure looks to me like that is exactly what this guy is doing. He just looks so happy. I am not so sure that he was considering there were a bunch of crazy kids running around, and then a crazy lady crawling up on the grass in front of him with this huge black thing coming out of her eye! ( ha ha). This image is the classic of how to take what could be a rather boring image and make it more interesting. All I had to do was get down, get way down, in the duck poo covered grass, but it was worth it. I love teaching photography, and find it fun to give a student a single simple tip, and watch them run with it and improve their photography. So I guess my tip for today is to get down. Had I taken this shot straight on it would not have been nearly as interesting to look at. New perspectives can do amazing things to help your images, especially when photographing animals or small humans( I am a child photographer, so I see a lot of them). Get down to their level and see what you come up with! And yes, I end up doing a lot of laundry, but the kids love it when I get down and dirty with them.
