 I'm sure this will garner a fair number of low votes from the crowd that doesn't approve of hunting, but I like the way this turned out, so I'm going with it.

I had trouble finding a real good subject for this contest. I kept thinking of things that were boring and really had nothing beyond the photograph. When I thought of this, I had to do it, because it really tells a story of a glove behind left behind, from the glove's point of view.

To set this up, I dropped my glove, placed my camera on a gorilla pod, and then used the 10 second timer to run out into the scene. I wish I wouldn't have cut pat of the glove out of the frame, but I had very little time for this, so I didn't get a chance to fully examine and re-try.
