 I shot this photo during a trip to Jordan Lake with my husband and dog. The de-motivational saying was purely out of frustration. I am overly sensitive to poison ivy, having several severe bouts of it in my childhood. Nate, my husband, is not prone to it at all. Therefore, he really did not know what poison ivy looked like because he never really needed to. So he would just walk through a patch of it. I got sooo angry. "Ahhhh how did you NOT know what poison ivy looks like!," I yelled. Well anyway, this photo is for my ever-loving, ever-tolerant and ever-learning husband.

Great shot, perfectly framed, great demotivating message, definitely one of the best, or is it the worst? anyway, this should be on the front page.

Fantastic dynamic range looks like it would have to be an HDR. I hope it's not because I like it!
