A duck robs a poor innocent woman as she's distracted by the cute ducklings. Moments later they all rush off with their ill-gotten gains!

What you don't see is the camera crew, make-up and lighting people and a small crowd watching from behind them. This was for some advert and of course the woman in question is a model.
I shot this on State Street, Chicago after stumbling upon the shoot by accident. They didn't seem to mind, and I even got a dazzling smile from the model!

Did Consumerist ask / pay for this?
Donncha @ InPhotos.org
DjMagra - yeah, they asked. See the comment from them a few comments above? There was an uproar about them using images with crediting photographers but they got such a response they did the right thing and provided credit!
Besides, I can't sell the image. That model didn't sign a model release form..
