By the middle of the drive-thru safari I was thinking I should probably start a poop series, since around every corner was a pooping critter. This is not the shot I was going for when I lifted my camera. I actually didn't realize it was crapping until I got home and saw it full size. I was disappointed, because I really like whatever is going on at the bottom (still don't know what caused that exactly). Thankfully I noticed this challenge, and felt better, but I still would have rather had no poop.

I really have to say that this is such an elegant and wonderful image that the crass title is very jarring. I'm going to ignore the title :-)

Man it took me a second then BAM... This is going to be one that I remember. Perhaps a bit of a stretch for the challenge but creative.

LOL, this is so funny. I love it. Its rare that a picture has humor AND meets the challenge AND is well photographed. This does all three. My only nitpick is that I would want more focus on the eye. But I still love it. 9
