Good job of stitching the five photos together.
I like the topical title also, and the Olympic reference. #159638

Thanks, Sabrina!

Duck tastes good, but I prefer to "hunt" with my camera.....

I love this. How long did it take you to get all of these shots??? Very creative collage. #719826

Pamela K August 18, 2004

Thanks Paula!

It didn't take long... The four bottom shots were taken within a minute. The Pintails kept poking their heads up then putting them back under to feed. I was trying to get a shot of their heads but kept missing. The top shot, which was actually taken last, was taken about 3 minutes after the others because I had to switch memory cards.

This is the first time I've tried combining photos in Photoshop. Thanks to everyone for commenting!
