Bombs Away?

I love this picture. I took it in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico in January. I actually took a series of pictures—you know, with the shutter automatically snapping so you don’t miss the perfect shot? This pelican was on a fishing expedition, and I caught him just before he plunged into the water. I was so proud of myself.

So I set up the picture with others from that trip as revolving wallpaper on my computer. My Liege walks by and says, “Who just shot that bird?” Groan. To him, the picture looks like a dead pelican about to flop into the water. Or…he said it did. He might have been pulling my leg. If I asked him now, I’d probably get a different answer, because he lives to torment me. Honest. He’s admitted this. But I’m up to the challenge. I torment him more!

Anyway, your turn. Caption this photo for me. Does it say “Bombs Away!” to you? Or “Agghhhhhh-Gurk!” Or something else altogether? Show me your creativity.

The winner gets the satisfaction of knowing they’re more clever than anyone else.

    I didn’t notice the ‘dead bird’ thing until after you mentioned it. I can sorta see how it could look that way. Great pic, btw. I need a camera that’ll allow me to catch birds like that.

  2. Thanks, B.E. I received the camera for Xmas 2008 but only used the automatic settings until I went to Mexico in January. Then I started going through the little book. I need to get back to it. Lots of creative things to do with a DSLR.
