 I waited and waited for some interesting weather to hit Los Angeles, but the most I could muster up was a few clouds and some light wind. Tonight, of course, now that the challenge will be over, it is supposed to rain. For this shot I went back to my favorite park and wanted to take pictures of the cherry blossoms blowing in the wind, but I got distracted by the ducks. I had to lie down in the grass and get rather dirty to get this vantage point with the cherry blossoms behind the duck.

too saturated the feet on the duck are nearly pick orange. other than that I think it is pretty good image, good show of the wind. Underexposed a bit as well.

I would have prefered a deeper DOF here to include the wild clouds in the background, it would have given this image much more impact.

Duck shows a lot of attitude! Obviously being wind blown. Focus is good. It's just a bit dark. Could use some adjustments for improvment.
