On your way to Sesame Street? ;-) Not a jaw-dropping sort of image but I like the patterns of the leaves on the trees.

I'm really surprised this one didn't finish better! One of my higher scores in the challenge.

I don't think it needed explaining, Deb. Your commenters mostly loved it, so just suggest to Langdon that commenters' scores should count twice as much as ordinary ones ... hmmmm ... that's actually an interesting idea, though it mught cause a slew of "." comments LOL!

Have You Hugged Your Chicken Today?
by chickadeezl

Comment:
No ... no, I haven't. There was a pretty friendly rooster at the shelter but I don't know how he feels about being hugged so I haven't tried it ;-) Unique shot; the chicken doesn't look ecstatic but she's not objecting too strenuously, and the human looks ... confident in her chicken-handling skills. Not necessarily seeing affection here, but there's definitely trust.

Good doggie! Personally I'd have a drape on that chair (and pinned partway up the wall behind him) but I am getting obsessive about such things as non-photogenic folding chairs ;-) The interaction here is very clear, though you probably could do an even closer crop and tell the story with more detail.
