This shot was the end of a rubber duckie race for charity. yes, it was a fair-related sort of thing. Not posed! A real news item, just not as interesting a news item as I made it out to be. :)

You know what? I gave this an 8. I thought it was too funny and even if it were a posed shot that it deserved points for creativity. :-) So, whs this a shot at a fair or something?

this is a stretch. not enough context to give any real meaning to the image. could stand to be a bit sharper, as well.

LMFAO! Ya know, I've been kinda harsh on posed shots, but this one despite the fact that rubber duckies are invading is quite convincing. Good vote for playing with the genre.
