WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?! :O

It's Jabba the hut's kid! Nice entry. But seriously, what is this thing?

Must be a real catch! Bet his wife is proud

Florida long neck turtle. Doesn't it just say kiss me .

My first thought too...What in the world!?!?!?! Thanks for the description. Awesome shot but NO, it doesn't seem to say "kiss me" to me!

That was my first thoght! amazing picture by the way

wow, I had to google that because I've never seen a turtle that looked like this :O

I can see the turtle now! GL!

I live in Florida and hope I never come across one. Get shot!

Awesome shot, perfect expression, and I must say he's so cute = )

God in Heaven! What the heck is this? Great find and picture!

I know this guy, he was a professor at my uni
Well anyway, great capture GL

lmao oh my god this thing is a sexy beast

Thanks everyone ! She's a beauty...in her world.

interesting...

haha verrryyy interesting

Offensive, No, but I'm wondering why you call it Ugly?

Friiskiwi, there's nothing pretty about rape. Female cats hate sex!!!! It's only fun for the male. The female gets raped every time. But don't take my word for it. Google it.

Oh come on!!!

They look like they may be related. Incest is ugly.

Why because they're both orange? Isn't that a little racist?

Cats are notorious for incest. Did you know that as soon as after 3 months of birth, the siblings will try to impregnate each other.

Well I will have to disagree that female cats "Hate" it, but good picture, just like Discovery Channel.

i think i know who this is! btw.. great photo!!

We have seen this kind quite often, not so stunning anymore, sorry.

friiskiwi, i don't think its about the originality of the photo, but what is in the photo that fits the theme spot on..

I agree with friiskiwi. This has been done a lot and not really your idea, author.

I think the topic was to present "the most valuable/memorable items in your home." I know that this composition is mostly boring, but i used to replace my mother with the ring my feelings with the heart.

I've seen it a lot and have done it myself and still think it's beautiful. I like the different interpritations people come up with it to be honest

I love the light used! an original take on a classic shot

I am not tired of seeing it at all, especially since I am new to photography. I have only seen this done 3 times and it is still beautiful and artistic to me. Just my opinion.
Love this and the story behind the book and the ring!!

yes I do agree, this same photo is all over google when you search Love and photos. its real common.

I think every one of you who made a negative comment about this should be ashamed of yourselves. Every single one of you has posted a shot that has been overdone, is this original? No probably not but that doesn't mean it's a bad photograph. I've said it before and I'll say it again how many shots of waterdroplets on flowers do we still get that win contests, or b&w shots on a black background? If your not going to give constructive criticism then don't comment at all. One person was bad enough but 3 people!?!? And two of you are top members to boot. You should know better. If it doesn't wow you, or you thinks its to overdone fine you are certainly entitled to your own opinion but keep it to yourself, comments like that have no place here.

Very well said locksmagic!! Thank you!!!

Water droplets should NEVER win!

Oh HELL!!!! I wasn't saying it was a bad photo it was just not a very original idea and used a lot.. Sheeeesh.....

Well said Lock's.............. I couldn't have said it better myself..................unusual for me I know......
