Description

7/8/04, 7:54 p.m., f/7, 1/450, ISO 400, hand-held, natural evening sunlight. A duck in silhouette strays from the flock after a hearty meal of bread crumbs at the Altoona campus of P.S.U. Cropped in PSP8. They were constantly moving as they followed the people that were feeding them started to leave. I couldn't line up the shot I wanted, so I took a safety shot. I cropped it then and got two photos out of it. This is one of them.

Thanks so much for the nice comments, Charlene, Paul, Donna, Ellen, Robin, Jessica, Mike, Janice, Allan, and Carolyn! I really appreciate them:-) Allan, I left that duck shadow up there so it would look like the shadow at the bottom looped around to the top (hence the title). Thanks for noticing it! #643988
