[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photo was taken in the harbor in Duluth, Wisconsin my husband had just started to take his ship from the fuel dock there to the dock to unload the cargo of coal it was carrying. During the process he upset a flock of ducks that were swimming around near the bow. I thought this image was pretty much what most of us are dealing with now..COLD!

thanks for viewing my gallery and your comments on my photos :o)

Hi Donna,
Some people have their summer and I am sure that they can hardly remember their cold winters.
A wonderful image with a good clean composition. The shapes of the ice are well captured and the speed of the ducks is wonderful to see.

Hi Donna,
Thanks for sharing this fine capture with us, the composition is lovely with the ducks beating a hasty retreat. Donna, I have a sunset photo with a ship on it, if I posted it would it get booted off.

Hi Donna,
at first I thought this was up side down, but I caught on quick. Very nice composition, I do like how you used the reflection as your focal point. The bird them self are very hard to see which makes this a bid mysterious. Lovely textures and very nice scene.
Very well done.
