I seldom apply "photo realism" to comedy pieces. Not that important and my comical pieces never get any good votes so I really don't care about that kind of stuff. But that's just me. (Now if I was doing a family photo (where someone wants to photoshop a "loved one" into a photo, I'm all shadow, light placement and erasing double chins.. etc..etc...). My creations are always usually governed by
the overall finished image.. as this is a total fantasy piece, I even kept the resolution of the "pug" eyes just to make it that much creepier even though I know they should be blurred. As to the "grounding" of the duck feet, I know exactly what you are saying, just not important to me. Thank you very much for your comment (and sorry about the babble, but my meds in the morning combined with my coffee make me into a chatty Cathy )

Wild One? Naw, I never made it into "Who's Who" but I did make page 46 of "What Was That?"

I like me too.. when I walk my butt cheeks scrape together and I give off sparks.. I'm a blast.. especially if I have gas

I understand what you are saying, as do some of the people who gave you a thumbs up... I've never been very good at "Depth of Focus" because my eyes are pretty terrible as well. Also, I've been using my "back up" readers (I rolled over my regular glasses in my sleep) so EVERYTHING is blurry to me... LOL
