Here's a pintail hen I did in September for a trading competition held at the Columbia Flyway show in Vancouver, WA. In this contest, all the birds are thrown into the pool, tested for self righting, and then judged for first, second, and third as normal. However, after the contest, the winner gets their selection of birds to keep, then second place gets their choice, and so on. I came in 4th place out of 12 or so entries. But this particular contest is about creativity and having some fun.
It was my first hen pintail, and I was pretty pleased with how it came out. As for the twist, it's a miniature. Also my first (non-caricature) miniature decoy. I've included a quarter for size reference.
