Love a Duck by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Love a Duck

My get pushed was to capture people playing sport or exercising.

I maybe could have photographed Ipswich Town losing to Liverpool, off the telly, but that's a practice I find unchallenging and more than a little plagiaristic. I could have walked to the local tennis courts and captured sweaty, topless blokes, hitting yellow balls, through the chain link fence.

Instead I went to the canal and enviously watched many paddleboarders skillfully and gracefully balance and glide through the water. This chap went up and down the length of the canal a couple of times and I watched him do a bit of yoga too.
@la_photographic here you go Laura, hope you approve of my less than sweaty interpretation!

Nice portrait of the paddle boarder. I would like to have that level of balance.

He must be quackers taking the boat on his board. Oh and a great reflection.
