 Not sure about this one, I don't think it will do well. It looks deeper in the larger original.

The photo isn't really a scene from the film. Except for a few ducks in a cauldron in the opening credits. I actually never saw the film but looked up the title on IMDB.COM.

Ironically, before going to bed the same night after taking this photo, DUCK SOUP was on Cinemax and it was the only time the film was being played on cable in decades, or years! After watching the film, I realized how much I related to it personally, and destiny took it's course.

So many comments on this ! Them ducks were pretty fast, and it was about 4pm or so, getting dark. I should have boosted ISO some more and upped the shutter speed.

never seen that movie but I'll take your word for it. The picture suffers from the motion blur, imo. Very nice color.

Looks like ducks to me! Unfortunately, I don't see any Marx brothers...

Umm, have you actually seen that movie? This sure doesn't look like I any scene I remember from it (not to mention that this is in color).

I believe the challenge was to re-create a scene from the movie. I don't recall this scene in Duck Soup, unfortunately. It is, however, a literal Duck Soup.

I have a hard time focusing on anything in this shot. The background is in focus, but none of the ducks are, yet they are are interesting part of the shot. A broader focus of a focus on the foremost ducks would've helped.

Wasn't that film in black and white?

the focus is on the trees in the background...should have been on the ducks
