Security in the 'burbs

Those in the big city rely on security measures such as big dogs or alarms to protect themselves. Here in the 'burbs, we take a different approach. We rely on nature's natural predators to find and destroy interlopers. No need for ill-trained dogs or frequent false alarms, no, we rely on the seldom seen but truly vicious "Attack Duck".

In this shot, you can see one of these highly trained killers giving me the evil eye. She attacks with thousands of vicious pecks without the slightest provocation. The shot does not capture my extreme nervousness at encountering this top of the food chain predator. Yes, I am one of the few who have ventured in the territory of the "Attack Duck" and lived to tell the tale. It was scary and nerve racking, but worth every moment to capture this once in a lifetime shot.

In this picture, I managed to sneakily capture the AD in her secure headquarters. Little did I know that she had already called for assistance and in the picture, you can see her crack team of ninja guards arriving via Honda SUV. Fortunately, Mrs TMG was available to bail me out. I have learned my lesson; I will never venture into the territory of such a highly trained operative again.

No Photoshopping here, just basic saturation, contrast, brightness and white balance.

Constructive criticism always welcome.
