weekly Cobra's 52 surreptitious Shoe-horns for 2016 week 52 celebrate and done

#1 is a great photo, very well composed and processed, and fits the brief... But of course I prefer #2 with the naughty meerkat game. Simples.

Well, lets be honest, I wasn't actually expecting to die was I? :D

Cheers Dean (y)
I did think about smoke from the gun, and a bit of tomato sauce ( :D ) splashed on the table, but wanted to keep it a little light.

I tried to get them to join in, but the zoo keeper was less than helpful :D

Playing by the rules again :(
Lioness.jpg

Tortoises never rush anything ....
And as he is smiling ..... maybe its more serendipitous than serene?
(yes I know, harsh light through the bushes = a snow scene :( )

The shot of the lions is a lovely image and spot on for the theme, very well caught. Not sure about the tortoises...
 
Get you on theme twice in a row, I'm not sure I can handle it :runaway:
 
Thank you for removing the commas:) its strange how the male tortoise is on the female, one would think he is making baby tortoises, but he seems to have the wrong end surley.o_O More surreal than serene.
 
I love the lion shot, great facial expressions, the do look serene.

Not so sure about the look of the tortoise who's face we can see in that photo... :eek:

Yep agree with Chris, Great DoF and a nice licky shot, very on theme, so much in fact I'm ignoring the horney tortoise image, that's just filth, pure filth :D

As above Bernd, he seems happy enough.
I guess you'd call it a blow by blow account? ( sorry :coat: )
:D

Thanks for dropping by guys & gals :thumbs:
 
Love those lions, and what is more Serene than having your ears licked :eek:

And no, those tortoises don't get you anywhere level the filth required to overtake me :p
 
Shame on you for your on-topic lion shot Chris.....Lovely as it is.
The expression on the right hand lion is priceless, :-)

The toroiseseses...... @Bruja Jill's right, you've a long way to go to out filth her. :D
 
Chris,
Game:
You should have photo shopped off the back of your head for the first one ;)
I do love the furry animal price comparison shot though :)
Serene:
Aw bless the puddy tats, that's a great shot.
Not quite so sure about our shelled friends, and snow????

As above I did think about smoking gun and tomato sauce all over the table, but I thought that would be a little too heavy

Strong sunlight through bushes, the Tortoise wasn't the only thing that was "blown" :D

Thanks for dropping by guys :)
 
Love, love, love the grittiness of your game shot - wow! But no animals..am I in the right thread?! I especially like the light catching the glass and bottle at each side emphasising the darkness (in all senses) in the middle. Great stuff :)
And the expression on that lion's face...just purrfect :D
 
That is a great shot of the ions Mr.C. - excellent crop of a gentle, serene scene.
 
So onto week 35 and back to the shoe horns (y)

Not everything is as it appears, not everything is black and white

Although some-things are

Aha! The very rare purple zebra! Love it. :-)
And very nice work on the Mr Excited shot too. :-)
 
I agree with the above, that zebra is just bizarre to look at :wideyed:

Purple zebra for me. :D

a bit like something I saw this morning heading towards the Notting Hill Carnival.
 
5 days to go, is there going to be a different colour each day, I rather like the pink best.

Nope that's it, no more colour, the poor thing was stressed enough with me slapping Dulux finest over it
