 The title is courtesy of Robert ( Bear_Music)- thanks!!

"From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone."

The photo is a composite of a laughing goat at the pumpkin patch where I bought my pumpkin (which I DID carve and photograph but did not enter into the challenge), and a picture - slowish exposure, zoomed - of a lawn decoration on a house down the road a block or two.

I have no idea why I'm entering this challenge. I am not an expert editor. My teammates are insane (and insanely good at this sort of thing!) I'm expecting a lovely bottom 30% finish. Alas, I do well there. :-)

This is unbelievably good. If art is meant to elicit emotion, this does the trick.

I'm dying to know what sort of comments you're getting on this, Deb. It is such a primal, bewildering image.
