It's dark outside, how is he ever going to see his shadow now?

Extremely cliche! I gotta love this photo. Did you try to take the redeye out of the fellow second from the left? That would've helped.

Not everyone will understand Punxsutawney, even with the groundhog. They probably won't even know what kind of animal that is. But I'm sure glad he saw his shadow in Georgia. Spring is coming. I would like for this photo to be a little lighter. Also is fixing red eyes against the rules? Never thought about that before. That's considered spot editing I guess. Great photo, just needs to be lighter for me. Great timing for this challenge for you. Lucked out. Good one.

This is a really interesting picture, has lots of character, I would like to know the story behind it.

I think I know who you are, since you posted in the forum about this, although suprisingly there were two of you that lived in the area. I think this is a super photo for this challenge. It made me laugh then smile. the perspective is nice and makes you follow the trail of top hats into the solid blue night sky. Did he see his shadow? 8

LOL, funny snapshot. to be honest, in my interpretation of the challenge (which is obviously different from yours), it doesn't fulfil the challenge. there's only the inbetween state, not the before and after (or even after and before). funny capture though. :)

This is a nice snapshot that needs to be a little lighter, but it doesn't meet the challenge. The title tells us why it is before and after, when the photo should show that. Otherwise we could take any photo and put an appropriate title on it and submit that. I hope you can understand, and feel you've probably heard this a dozen times already.
