For some reason during voting I thought this was Slippy’s entry, but it matters not, one of my high votes. And as usual the box has not been created to hold the Don. Well done!!!

Ha. I thought this was absolutely hilarious when I was voting. I did wonder, though, if you outlined a real squirrel. :)

Compositionally, the moving, blurry car really sets the scene and gives good context to the shot. I can help but wondering, though, what passerby-ers had to be thinking.

Technically, I really like the high contrast "grit" of this shot. It is edgy, and almost makes you feel guilty for being amused (almost). The only thing that might improve the shot is to widen the crop a bit. It just feels a bit cramped left to right for me.

I like the motion blur and all the parallel lines leading up to the right. It gives a good sense of speed and danger.

Great job capturing a senseless and heinous crime scene, and in Tranquility, no less.

great humorous approach to this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2008 10:24:00 AM
Creative! I like this a lot! And a much better outline of a squirrel then I'd be able to manage! lol

Along the same lines, another neat shot to do would be with the squirrel in the middle of the road, with the car in front, tail-lights fading in to the distance.
