#3 Bats given that much blood, not what you expects to see everyday. Isn't it creepy, now you know why they come...

Like the "shallow depth-of-field" contest, this one was maddening for me, because I have taken many pictures that would fit the theme well. I'm not saying which entry is mine, but I ended up going with a picture that I actually took since the contest was announced.

I went with 10. Not only is the landscape unusual for me but yea the big tire just sitting there is borderline strange. It would be funny if there was a huge tire junkyard just out of the picture tho

Then Again I have to edit my post cuz it is also unusual how scale is completely taken out of this picture. I'm thinking the tire is huge but it may be a regular ole car tire, that is if it's a tire at all. hmmm.

11 just edged out 10 for me.

I would also bet a dollar that 11 was taken in Dallas. That house's architectural style looks very familiar.

If #3 wasn't so frightening, I'd vote for it. A lot of unusual pics for sure, but I think I'll go with #10.

I liked most entries, but 2 and 3 were a tie for me. Because bats are so cool, 3 won my vote.

T-minus twelve hours and it's a nail biter. Who will win? 'Disturbing Lego-like guys' or 'Can you help me with my shirt?'? The suspense is killing me, but not in a killing me for pie kind of way.

It's odd that my photo won, because none of the people who commented in the thread voted for it!

Sounds like I missed another topic I would have liked. I would really have to choose the bats or the tire. I think I prefer the bats.
