Cool, but the title is brilliant.

I'm definitely glad we don't have these in our back yards around here!

Beautiful specimen, nice capture!

I love this, try to increase the contrast a little, that will really make it pop.

Thank you! I will try that right after my movie

ok I added contrast and lowered the mid-tones a bit. I like it better. Thank you!

Much better

I love HDR images, great job

Rust is a friend of HDR

Love this HDR version of discarded items - works very well with the rustic feeling and the lighting- great shot

OMG! at first view I thought "what a tumor! Hi-res is better, good luck!

agree with enblanco, perhaps B/W was not the best choice.

ooops...! look like any tumour mass.....

Lol well nowhere did it say that the gum had to look like your typical cliched pink, chewy variety. I like the fact that it takes a closer look to figure this out. But hey that's just me...

I agree with the others. That was my first reaction as well.

I'm with your husband!

LOL! I think he was a pet that someone let go, I didn't crop this so you can tell how close I was to him and he wasn't at all aggressive. Also, it's not really obvious in this picture but he had a huge bulge in his belly because he just eaten something that was pretty large, I'd rather have a snake than a rodent!

Isn't that the rare "Golden Stripped Photographer Eater?"
