 A glimpse of a wood stork's rear end as it was retreating from the watering hole one hazy morning. A happy accident, since this camera isn't really any good for action photography in these low-light circumstances. I thought for sure it would be a throwaway, but I kept coming back to this one time and again thinking there's something here.

I predict a low finish. I'm okay with that. I wouldn't call this a "commercially viable" photograph. Just a lo-fi souvenir I suspect others here might connect with.
