Take a Word Challenge: Umbrella






I've been waiting for a chance to use a duck photo I took on Riverwalk in San Antonio about a month ago. The ducks there are quite bold, and often hop up onto the sidewalk next to the river to preen, beg for food, or in this case, fluff their feathers after a publicly romantic romp with another duck. My attempt to get a pretty good close-up actually worked this time! In this digital collage, "my" duck is very politely sheltering some little friends from the rain.

Other image credits: shadowhouse; media militia; peggy gatto (umbrella, altered with my own pattern); vintage moth; deviant scrap; The lace design is from a piece of lace I once scanned. (I scan everything--watch out!)

Must've been quite a public romantic romp -- her feathers still appear a bit ruffled! Love your whimsical use of your photo! Very creative.

This is exquisite! I love how you have used bits and pieces to build your collage into a most beautiful picture. Your lacy water would qualify for next week's challenge which is LACE!! I love the design and the wonderful originality. Fantastic.
