Fina additions to the set. Love the form in the lower half of the first but do find the second big, white duck a bit distracting.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. Bloody ducks get everywhere! It would drive you quackers!

Nice try, Pete, but I'm not going to bite.

Low-key treatment works really well when your subject is all white.

I find the series absolutely good, but a lighter shade og grey please, preferably colour right?

Don't you guys know anything? Swans and other waterfowl don't hatch, they emerge. I don't know where you guys get these crazy ideas. Those white things in the nest are cocoons. The swan caterpillar stays in those until it morphs into a bird with wings and then emerges. Once the wings fill with blood and dry out they can fly. That takes several weeks. Don't you get Animal Planet on satellite tv?

No mention of storks...

 

[Pete Askew]

Their larvae feel on Gooseberry bushes don't they?!

I thought they fed on duckweed, but I could be mistaken.

 

[Pete Askew]

No, no, no. That's ducks you're thinking of!

Huh, some people!
