So what is the demotivational slogan? Love the pic, however.

Like the DOF in the photo, but the caption doesn't really de-motivate me.

Great find! Love the dof and the detail on the turtle. Wish you had some quote going with it.

This is a perfect de-motivational image, but lacking some clever snide phrase, it lacks the pop it would otherwise have. Im voting it near the top, but I'm afraid you limited your appeal by not conforming to the template.
