Look again!

It's not????
My second husband's grandfather used to carve decoys. He was from a time long past but insisted the only good decoy was a well carved one. I have had several plastic one but they just don't hold a candle to the handmade ones.
yep! they be carved and nicely too! Excellent workmanship on these two!
So my eyes are not completely gone? These are very good! I've always thought decoys were a bit unfair. Some young drake thiks he's found a new girlfriend and gets blasted out of the sky as he approaches. His final thought probably being, "Hey, you could have just said no."
Marvelous! It's been a long time since I've seen decoy ducks up close...well...I've never seen decoy ducks up close, so I guess that would count as a long time, now wouldn't it? I'm really taken by the details. The feathers look all feathery and wonderfully etched, a bit like real feathers would look on a duck at rest. WOW! This is a great pair!. Yep...M R Ducks!
Beautiful capture...
excellent find....
They are good!
I'm trying to imagine what decoy's are actually used for. Is it to attract other ducks to the pond for hunting? Hmmm I've never thought about it before!!!
They are wonderful decoys real ducks would go quackers over them..
Say, these ducks were floating in a pond where no hunting is ever allowed...I get it...these guys are just there to bring other ducks in to enhance the already peaceful scenery. Nice capture with some great reflections:)
Don't laugh but I had to looks twice!!! WOW - craftmanship at its best and such great pics Tara!!! They would fool anyone!
Duck lures to bring others to a happy place! Great idea.. Fabulous idea and a cool looking pair! Rob
Awesome handwork indeed. Abd I love the water reflections too :)
Wonderful shots of these two; very realistic indeed!
They are well looked after - no grime from smaller birds sitting on them etc! Well done, Clive

Good workmanship on these. :) I'm glad they are not being use for hunting, the store bought duck is better for eating anyway. Excellent captures!
