Like kkowalczyk says, you really need a copywriter or proof reader to go over the text on your site, the grammar and spelling errors ("see'ing") are very noticeable. With regards to the idea - it seems as though you are building a site which replicates a single Flickr search ("rubber duck travel" [1]). I think it will be difficult to build a community around this - if people want to see pictures of a rubber duck travelling, why not look at the thousands already available on Flickr? Apart from selling rubber ducks, what "community" will your site provide that existing ones do not? Finally, just a personal observation - signing your blog posts as "CEO" strikes me as odd for a few reasons. I believe a CEO usually reports to a board of directors, and you probably don't have one of those yet :-) "Managing Director" is the British equivalent, but "Founder" sounds less pretentious/optimistic.

Thanks for the reply. I agree you can easily search for photos of ducks on sites such as Flickr however I just wanted to create a that members already following this pattern of taking photos of their ducks around the world could use to share with other members following the same idea. Flickr is filled with millions of members and millions of photos so a member not looking for photos of ducks may still get them as a search result, meaning they wont have any relation to the photo or probably wont have an incentive to comment it, follow the user etc moving them onto another photo instead. The simple idea that the duck in each photo relates to not only yourself but other members, other photos and the whole site itself. No completely random un-related photos being posted up which members think to themselves "why was this posted?" hopefully you get my point. Thanks again for the feedback, and I'll be sure to get out of the habit of using CEO too.
