A dozen duck eggs (really--count them) in the nest in my little neighborhood park...with a touch of replacement coloring by me. :-)

whoa? wow, a duck nest in the park!!!Kathleen K. Parker April 20, 2005
Thanks, Nobinn. Three little boys showed me the nest. The photo looked kind of bland with just the white eggs, so I changed the hue of some egge with the color replacement tool in PS.OK?Evy Johansen April 20, 2005
Gorgeous image, Kathleen! Great job with the coloring! #1272766Kathleen K. Parker April 21, 2005
Thanks, Evy and CJ!!Terry L. Ellis April 21, 2005
What a wonderful lucky find and capture, kk. Very creative with the coloring, too. I love it. #1277364Noel Baebler April 21, 2005
Neat find, kk! Uh, where are Mr. and Ms./Mrs. Duck? I like the coloring magic you applied. Jeez...maybe the duck parents saw your photo and said, "These are not our eggs, Edgar. Our eggs are white..." (Yeah, I know...How would a couple of ducks get a BetterPhoto account...) #1278351Kathleen K. Parker April 21, 2005
Thanks Terry and Noel! I also wondered what happened to Mr. and Mrs-s Duck, too. I have a feeling they ducked out! :-)Elisabeth A. Gay April 22, 2005
What a find!! Love that duck egg blue!! I hope some thoughtless human didn't touch the eggs and cause the parents to abandon them. Birds are so sensitive about their privacy. Still, it's a great family portrait, KK :)Amber N. Eddings May 02, 2005
