Shot at Crocosaurus in Darwin, NT. This tank shares a glass wall with the young croc pool just behind them (a couple of crocs can be seen on the right side). Swimmers feel like they're "swimming" with the crocs. I noticed these two boys in there and thought it made a good image. When they saw me taking pictures, they started clowning around. The title is both a play on words (their age) and the number 10, which they form with their bodies. I had to flip the image to make the second part work :-)

Anita reminded me that I suggested this challenge eons ago. If I had not been traveling, my entry would have been profoundly different. I rather enjoy the serendipitous moments I've captured on the road and used for challenges, especially this one. Sadly, none have been scoring as well as I'd like, but feel that given the circumstances, it ain't all bad either.
Thank you, Don, for hanging this in the gallery. It's perfect there :-)

Oh, this is too funny and weird: I left a comment (where did it go?) about the kids being Aussies Rockwellian and did not have a clue the image was yours! What did I say? Time warp or time travel .... Great job, inspired and refreshing.
