 The Opossum is the only marsupial found in North America.
When threatened or harmed, they will \"play possum\", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. \"AT LEAST THIS ONE DID WHEN I SHOT IT ! \" With Camera of course. //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum

Looks like a picture of a roadkill, I don't think that it is properly composed.

I think that the idea is good but you need to exacute it better.

I really like this. Looks like there wasn't much editing which indicates that you took a good picture without jazzing it up with fancy photoshop tricks. It's somewhat comical considering the possum isn't moving. It's also the first picture I've commented that had anything to do with the challenge. Great work.
