whats taht green smudge on the right?

That would be a leaf.

awwwwww...

the long, almost transparent green streak is a leaf?

hehe aw :) I love seeing baby ducks floating around on the pond...



I try not to think about them getting eaten up by big fish, haha.

Yup focusing is an amazing thing.



Also I'm really happy with this shot because I was using an 18-55 kit lense, I was litterally sitting right next to them and they didnt move.



There mother wasnt around which kind of explains it.

the leaf was probably moving a bit, hence the transparency.

Yup, more than likely it was a bit windy.



Its kid of odd really, I live in york one of the most beautiful cities in the UK yet I dont find it inspiring, but I can go home and walk 10 minutes away from my house and find everything amazing.



I live on a housing estate on top of a large hill, when you get to the edge of the hill theres a couple of paths leading down to the river/canal (its half canal half river) the paths cut away but your surrounded by woodland and fields.







As you walk down the canal, you eventually get to the ship yard and further down from that is the rowing club where I went to college (UK college 16 to 18).



Its really nice espically in summer.

could i make a derivative of this path shot, stubby (post-process)?

Yeah go for it mate.

oh, hey dude. i played with it and this is what i came up with. your photo has a completely different emotion, which i only came to appreciate when i was editing. i just wish that pathway was going somewhere.
