    A Parents' Anguish

    It became shockingly apparent to the Blackburns that their son, Billy, may not have been adequately prepared for the life ahead.

    Lol.....perfect with the birds looking on at the antics.
    I'd expect to see this in one of those chain mails and if people pay for those pics, you've got a winner.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: A Parents' Anguish

    the part that makes the picture, is that the two birds on either side of the upside down one, are looking down at it. but none of the others are (except far left bottowm row) - might almsot be stronger if cropped (cloned) him out.

    The three strong lines got my interest on my back from an errand. I set up (again behind my work building) and waited for something/anything. I figured I'd at least get something for the Project Forum. The wait for "something" took about 3~5 seconds.

    It was shot about 45 minutes before I posted it.

    Great capture!!! Had me laughing for a while. I can totally see this one turning into a "demotivator" (http://www.despair.com for those who never saw them)
