I think they are a pair of ducks, probably Mr and Mrs Duck being stalked by a giant spider! Your full and central composition is certainly very appropriate for your subject. The shot is sharp and well exposed. Well done!

Thanks for the great comments. It is appreciated.

Comment from Zilyram
A most unusual sculpture the artist has created. The composition is good but I find the lighting a little out of balance - too bright on top and little dark on bottom. Focus is good. :) Mary

Thanks Mary. Yeah, I had issues with the lighting too, but couldn't come to a satisfactory resolution.

Comment from Larusminor
Very interesting picture.
Nice, pleasing view, inviting to investigate the details.
Rustic "ex- machine" and creatures look beautifully.
I think, it qualify for the contest.
Thank you very much for sharing this picture and very interesting story about the artist and the place.

Thanks Sam. Glad you enjoyed it.

Comment from Sean T Phelan
It's an interesting thing & certainly a nicely unusual subject for a photo
but the varying degrees of shadow ( very pronounced towards the right of the image ) running through the picture lend a rather 'distracting' look to the scene overall.

Thanks Sean. I appreciate the honesty. Yeah I know. I tried to fix it but couldn't come up with something that totally did not distort the picture further.

Comment from Joelgraphuchin
Xoxoxo...what a lovely object of photograph ( of farm equipment). Duck, bird, and even spider with its web are fun to see. Your focus is great. I can easily enjoy details of this composition.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Paul G.
It's definitely something else...lol. You know, in reality, sometimes I like a photo just for the humor in it. This has it. Looks like a storm brewing? Or just finishing? Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the review Paul. Trying to remember the weather that day; nope - don't have a clue.

Comment from FBI GUY
It does make me smile. The humor and the idea of making people smile is cool. The lighting is a bit harsh but the details are still OK. The hazy sky washes out some of the details of the duck with the umbrella. Thanks for making me smile.

Love to make people smile ;-). Thanks for the comments. Tried to adjust for the wash-out by the duck; didn't have much success.

If you figure that out, let me know. :)
