 Thought this little popcorn looked like a lion...so... being the weird-thinking person I am, I put him in a hibiscus flower from my garden and used the pistils as eyes. I am sure normal thinking people will shake their heads and wonder why someone would even think of doing something like this and what it has to do with "communicating popcorn". It doesn't really, but it's fun! :D

One lamp.
Sharpened, adjusted color a bit and ran NN.

I will admit I didn't see the lion until it was pointed out, but this was the most creative use of popcorn in this challenge! You got robbed!

Apparently you aren't as weird as you thought, since I and several other commenters all saw what you saw. I guess that means I'm not normal ;-)

I love this photo. From the thumbnail you see it looks like a lion. When you open it you see the popcorn makes the nose, cheeks and mouth. This is a very creative photo. The orange mane looks like it is flowing in the wind. Looks cute and majestic at the same time.
