To kick it off, here's my sample photo.

This is a close up picture of an apple core, upside down, with back light. This picture won a first place in a National Exposition in Costa Rica, due to its controversial image. Picture title: “Forbidden Fruit”. Original shot with slide film (Ektachrome 200) with PZ1P + FA50/2.8 macro.

Good luck!

Why so poor background blackening? Almost looks like head is modeled by that...

Hi, I need help naming this guardian of the forest. Maybe the nose can double as some other body part.

Probably not quite what is meant by Anthropomorpha but this is me morphing back to my childhood - well even further back really, as I'm not quite that old!

Hi all!

This guy seems very far away this week, since it's mid-summer here on the east coast of the US, and it's been warm and humid all week. This was from February of this year.

"He's" my neighbor's creation. On the way to work one morning, I asked if I could stop and take some pics in exchange for a print...
Here's my entry for the week:

Here's my entry.
This struck me as a living tree working in the leaves...

[F-Stop]

I found more than one. Tree Beard comes to mind, LOTR fan here!

No problem guys , it's all biology eh ....and the resemblance is definitely there.....

Don't have much but for now here's a smiley face barn I took late December last year ....

click on image for larger view ...

Looks like the barn is smiling because it is 'doing' the shed doggy style.

The snowman post made me remember this one, a snowoman.

Another tree one. the squirrel does look nervous though.

I already put one in earlier, so this is not an entry - but I could not resist posting it. Taken with a Pentax Video-Colonoscope today.

The "eye" on the left is a diverticulum, the "eye" on the right is continuing further up the colon, the "nose" is a fold in the lining.

I have heard it said that someone has his head up ...

[kevindt]

Either this is a difficult subject or my colonoscopy picture was too gross - entries seem to have dried up.

I think my silly flower ready to "bloom" shot may have tainted this thread very early on...
