A nice portrait Chris, the B&W suits the grey coming through
I'm now wondering just how many of us will know the residents of Whipsnade Zoo inside out by the end of the year, and in some cases quite literally inside as well as out

Given those Statistics, the male is definitely well themed. He does look very regal lolling around like that. (You are slipping Mr.C. - the shoehorn crown is in jeopardy BEWARE).

Whipsnade lions are tougher than that, they have a rugby ballour lions at Newquay have a football to play with....do they do that at Whipsnade ??
Just kiddin' but they have things hanging from trees to play with.
And they sometimes hide some of the food in heavy duty tubes, and throw it over the fence.

Well as we seem to all be going off the wall this week,
How about a game of Russian Roulette?
(NSFW?)
BTW you maybe happy to hear that I didn't actually kill my self for my art
.

And in keeping with the shoe horns,
The Four Tops sang life is just a simple(s) game.
No idea what the game was, but it just seems like a grey area

I thought you would have a seal balancing a ball somewhere, this is a sort of very laid back game, hide the thimble, perhaps. It seems to have seen something that shocked him, he's not the only one.
Its shocking but not as shocking as the last Meekat photo, you know the cherry one.

I never take pictures of performing animals, so that's a none starter
I did think of hide the sausage, but I couldn't remember where I left it, so that was a none starter too
That could be it, in this one, he could be looking for his cherry

I had too much to drink, and fell a sleep over the table, some people cuddle a soft toy, when they sleep, I just happen to be cuddling a .22 revolver.
Perfectly normal.

Russian roulette is brilliant - conceptually and compositionally. Excellent in b&w - suits the nature of the image.

2 things...
Firstly I was relieved when I saw the first image, to say I was hesitant to press the link was an understatement !!!
Secondly - A bit disappointed that there is drink left in the glass
Liking that Chris, nice wide crop, nicely laid out just enough light to make it sombre looking, just need some smoke from the gun

First rule of getting someone to click through is to keep 'em guessing
Well, lets be honest, I wasn't actually expecting to die was I?Secondly - A bit disappointed that there is drink left in the glass

I did think about smoke from the gun, and a bit of tomato sauce (
) splashed on the table, but wanted to keep it a little light.Thanks Allanlove the Russian roulette pic top marks and not what i expected which makes it all the more better
Its you lot, drives me to drink you does
Ah yes that'll be itAs for the second, were they playing a game of relaxation?
Cheers Stan

That first shot is really very good Chris and on theme!! The B&W conversion really adds to the feel of the image.
The meerkats do look like they're having fun but where's the gob shoot?
