I borrowed this rubber ducky from one of my co-workers. It kinda sums up his personality. I'll probably get beat up for the duck not being yellow, but I think blue works better anyway. The "frozen pond" he is floating on is actually some tempered glass that broke but did not come apart. It makes for a very cool effect here I feel, complementing the ice nicely. I was seriously struggling with an idea until today at work, when that duck just got me thinking...
Photoshop was convert from RAW, levels, curves, hue/saturation, selective color, crop, resize, usm, save for web. It came out quite well, but we'll see how it is accepted.
Shot @ 87mm, cropped at top and bottom of image. Painted with flashlight. |

| I think I would've tried to get some flames going around the ice. A little creative thinking would've made that possible. |

| These ducks are so small - it's hard to get them in a scaled environment! More ice? |
