If you have a toddler, you can find little things like this in strange places all the time! This actually did happen one time where she put "Duck" in the fridge - but I actually did it this time for the challenge. Duck is my 3 1/2 year old's FAVORITE comfort item, she's had him for 2 years now, sleeps with him and takes him most places with us. She thought I was "so, sooo, silly" for taking pictures of him in our fridge.
Finding him in the fridge was neither fortunate nor unfortunate so I'm hoping I don't get too many DNMC. I didn't really do anything to the organization of the fridge - this is how it looks - though I did remove a pizza box from the bottom shelf for the shot.
I had a very colorful version of this submitted for a couple of days before I decided to see what it would be like switched to B&W. I think that the B&W version is better as far as the duck standing out more, also my noise on the logos is a lot less. B&W just seems a wee bit classier if that's even possible. I also debated about which crop and angle to use, should I have shown more of the fridge? with the door? I don't know...
Whatever the score, I really hope I receive lots of comments on this one!
Editing in ACDSee & PSP7: rotate, crop, switch to B&W, gamma, blackpoint, sharpen, despeckle, re-size and border. |

| Funny, but seems a bit busy. The black and white doesn't help. The ducky gets a bit lost in all of it. |

I'm sure that black and white makes this picture look a lot better than the garish colors would have.
But the duck is very lost in there.
It doesn't stand out enough.
A good idea though. |

| This is a small image, maximising to 640 on the long side would really help this image with creating a better impact for the viewer. |
