 These are crab eggs on the beach, taken whilst on holidays in Queensland!

This was basically the shape the crabs lay it's eggs at. The eye of the "pet" was strategically placed in just the right spot! Kind of looks like a horse.

I wasn't going to enter this challenge, but I missed my update button!

Probably realise this is more animate than inanimate! Hence the ones I guess!

What a spectacular shot! I looked at the last minute and gave this an 8 and had no time to review it and bump it.
And, yes, if I could find such a pet I'll get it!

I thought it was a cool idea, but I definitely lowered my vote by a significant margin because I didn't like the vignetting combined with the border.
