A pair of ring-necked ducks on 070412.

This species might better be called the "Ring-billed Duck" for its chestnut neck ring is usually seen only at close range, while the white ring on the bill can be a prominent field mark.

One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Nice shot. Doesn't really grab me emotionally, though.
