What an exceptional capture Kathy! WTG! #10315890Carol A. Grady September 09, 2012
Unbelievably beautiful Kathy! You have done it once again. This one deserves to be a POTD and a top prize winner. #10315925Ellen Hodges September 09, 2012
Agree with Carol, completely, Kathy! A superb capture! The faces in the Crown Fountains are residents or visitors to Chicago. The "faces" were recently changed. There are 10 to 15 "faces" between the 2 fountains. Every so often, "they" open their mouths, and water sprays out!! Its a very unique and fun spot! #10315972Leslie McLain September 09, 2012
Amazing capture and colors, Kathy. #10315985Carol L. Fowler September 09, 2012

Absolutely stunning capture Kathy. I don't believe I've ever seen a more colorful duck, another Gold winner on the horizon. #10316277frank w. degenhardt September 10, 2012

Another fav, Kathy! Superb capture of this colorful duck - one that I have never seen in person, but would love to. The clarity and detail is exceptional, and the colors are hard to believe. #10317586Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
