Witty and absorbing. An uncompromising sort of audacity in refusing to give this a conventional frame of human reference, such as an encroaching footprint or shadow or even a bit of human detritus like a cigarette butt or discarded wrapper. It's all the better for that restraint. I voted this in my top three but neglected to comment because I was just reaching for the reins after a break from DPC. I'm resuscitating the ancient and dishonorable Award of The Thumb. Thank you.

He's seen my tax assessment. I felt much the same about it.

Unsettling and yet soothing at once. The apparent wisdom of elephants is momentarily revealed via this lovely portal.

Well! One moment I surprise myself by renewing my membership, and the very next I spot this witty wee bit of thumbnail edification crouching unaccountably down in second-to-last place. I look to see if this challenge results had been somehow inverted (as seemed likely when viewed from the other end) but no. I should have taken the secret new 'super-member' option by paying 250 bucks, and got myself the ten-votes-per-challenge that are part of that package. I'll upgrade now.

Well look at you sashayin' around in the limelight up in 15th place!

In spite of the high placing, I do like this elegant elegy. A visual fugue, it is. So very (pardon the pun) apt. Thank you.

Edit to add my paw print to that of Brother Posthumous. Unequivocally the best.

I agree with the Dead Guy: this is also my choice for Best in Show.

Motivational posters tend to assume a good measure of mindlessness in the beholder, as nearly all of the most popular entries in this challenge attest. You broke the mould, as your 97/111 placing attests. Congratulations.
