 Ok, so this is a first for me: a TOTAL shoehorn. But I just had to submit.

As most have noted, this is a total shoehorn, having nothing to do with stock photos or operators (although she HAS helped me in voting and commenting). I have no idea what possessed me, but I was reacting to a thread in one of the forums about the paltry number of entries. Maybe my adorable shoehorn will get me a ribbon after all: a brown one :-)

DANG! One shy of the Brown. Thank you all for the amazingly generous comments and the fave. Lola ROCKS!

Cute, but not "stock" enough for me, and it really doesn't strike me as being applicable to the operator part of the description either...

Don't really expect this would sell well as a stock shot, fun pet pic though!

A little too grainy for stock, in my opinion.

If I were to just look at the photo, I don't think that I would be able to find the connection to operator. It's a nice cat portrait though.

While a cute idea, the distracting elements would probably get this rejected as a stock photo entry.
