President's Pick Runner-Ups!

Would you have been able to choose a favorite with all these adorable faces? These final photos were in CLOSE contention for the highly-coveted President's Pick ribbon this year:

Miss Bill, no that scale does not make you look chubby, my dear!

Happy 6th Birthday, Molly!

Dilly Bar Dabler! you belong on a post card!

Miss Hope, what do you tuck in that little raindcoat pocket? Your ducky ID?

Dumpling, you blossom with beauty!

Close Ribbon Contenders!

The judges struggled over these final two for a long time. Esmae, this photo of you is so amazing, the water actually looks like ice and your pretty face is framed beautifully!

Esmae... absolutely stunning!

Daffy fostering a rescued duckling!

Other Favorite Fashions!

The Judges had a few close runner-ups on the runway! Miss Hope, the panel would like to say, they have never laughed so much during photo judging before! Oh my goodness!

You are all so adorable in your fashions! What a fun category this was!

Miss Hope... Look at your little elf hands!

Frederick (no that does not make you look feminine... mostly...)

Beeps would like to order the veggie platter, please!

Other Favorite Dinosaurs!

The Judges had a few other favorites who might not have won ribbons, but who are definitely winners!

Daffy... RAAAHHHRRR!

Little Quack is a Mallard and, as such, he had to enter the Velociraptor category, so he put on his best dino slippers!

Other Favorite Photos!

Here are some other really great photos! We  hope you'll check out our upcoming slideshow, so you can see their beautiful faces more clearly!

The President would like to acknowledge anyone who submitted a photo of a duck with a darkly-feathered face. We know how extremely difficult it is to capture their glistening eyes and the highlights of their precious faces. Many of you succeeded in this feat this year and we are duly impressed!
