 Image shot in my neighborhood after a careless kid speed through my street and hit this innocent armadillo. I consider this pollution, by being careless this kid took another life that was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The good thing about the animal kingdom is that nothing will be wasted by another creature, though we would look at it with a disgusted look and move on as if it had never been a living thing, as if it was another piece of trash on the side of the road.

Ah, like how they're walking up to it.. no need to clarify their intentions there.. very different interpretation..

mmm armadillo. Good shot, timing was just right. I don't think B&W adds anything to this photo. Would love to see a colour version.

I dont like this shot because this makes me sad but it is a good shot.

Very emotionally striking and well-captured image, but I don't see the pollution link very much (unless that armadillo was killed by pollution, but it rather appears to be hit by a car.)

this is a good picture, but a little disturbing.

Road kill!! The black and white conversion could have a bit more contrast for my liking.
