That's the difference with photographs.
When you walk by the lake - it's: oh look ducks swimming across the lake/canal/whatever
When you snap a photo little duck turns into most adorable of beings.
Geweldige fotografie - don't judge my Dutch. I'm total newbie, but getting better in next 10 years ... maybe, I guess.

Ooh, babies and adult Ducks, I'm always "Duckduckduck :la" Seriously, I can go a little crazy even over an adult duck, to the point where people at the zoo see me photographing something very intently and are all "what's so special over there?" and then see me busily photographing just an ordinary duck
Dankjewel
