Cool! I've been wanting to do a contest of some sort...
Who chose the four pictures?

Curious: If the winner already has a website here, is there an alternate prize, or would the subscription be for an additional year, or should we attempt for 2nd place instead?

Weird, eh? Otherwise where's the challenge?

Good question. If you already have a site here, or have a website already/don't need a Reach gallery, I'll give you a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate, like the last contest. How's that?

oh ho ho ho

that lion is going to get it.

Not complaining; I understand. Just wondered how they were chosen... completely at random? Special significance? Where did they come from? LOL We should use all four! Lion beating the cow-creature over the head with a hammer, whilst standing in a pile of leaves. "This is how we do pay-backs in the wilderness, sucker!"

Sounds good to me!

Cow creature? And the leaves are a pile of fish food actually. I pretty much just pulled them out my you know what, but in a thoughtful kind of way.

Read the rules and I am re-doing the pic

Hi Suzy -

Please read the instructions at the top of this thread before entering the contest.

Okay, it's a frog.... my bad.
On my crappy screen it looked like a cow head and appendages without a body. Or else my eyes have finally lost it.

But I downloaded them anyway, so hopefully when working with the file, I'd realize what they were.

I can see why you might have seen a cow lol. I squinted my eyes, and the shape of the frog does kinda look like a cow head.
