Your Duck is served Madam.

Hmmm! Air cooled duck. Fab pic but I would have cropped out the one on the left hand side (inc post) to give more balance

One question Onyx, could you please find out why the first five ducks have a hole on the base of their neck but the last one doesn't? :roll:

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2005 11:57 pm**

That’s easy Phillip - the first lot are capitalists and the last one is a communist :lol:

Hehehe should've taken one home in exchange for the photo. Well at least they werent' dogs or cats strung up.....

Actually, they're chickens.

The communist holes in the neck is how they're killed and still retain full body parts (the rightmost one has a hole too, on the right of the neck).

I can see your point about the crop Chris.

great!
very kool image
like the DOF u chose

my personal choice would be to crop to exclude the one on the left...

They're 5 victims of the Communist Govt. :lol:

they were alleged: Traitor :shock:

Hung up to dry with no recourse...

Thanks Flipfrog for the crop. Perfected it.

EXIF: f/5.6 1/1000s.

Hong Kong's answer to the Bali 9!

Great shot, Onyx. What's for dinner?

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2005 4:26 pm**

Better book them into the vet - they might be suffering from 'stress'...

Great shot, Chi, nice to see something a little different :wink:

”Bird on the wire” - Leonard Cohen circa 1966

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choirhave tried in my way to be free.

Chris,

how can some hung dead ducks inspire you to verse such nice poetry

Hmmmm,

Mic

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:04 pm**

Mic - I would never write poetry to a line of dead ducks :roll:

They are the words from the Leonard Cohen hit as if you didn’t know :wink:

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2005 10:17 pm**

I'm suprised it was written by Leonard Cohen. I still prefer Aaron Neville's rendition...

Onyx - so would I - Leonard Cohen would have to be the preferred singer of anyone contemplating suicide :cry:
