Pic of the week game

[gustovh]

You need to make a giant fly lure for that fish!

It's Salmon fest this saturday, so the pic fits the season around here. Even though it's not a salmon but rainbow trout.

I'm in a " Crabby " mood this morning.......

Bigfoot wants to ride!

How about a giant bulldog?

going to rerun this one.

Great shots one and all....thanks!

Charlie, we met a relative of your bigfoot at the Fishing Hall of Fame.
Here he is with our Marks Wells.

There you have it folks. (let me know if I missed any.)

Is up to you to choose between the most gigantic animal, or the most interesting picture for whatever reason, or the most interesting gigantic animal, or the most interesting picture of a gigantic animal.

I gotta go with Charlie G. Bigfoot really wants to go for a ride on that Triumph! I don't care if it's a real animal or not (maybe a subject for another thread?). It's just fun. Sorry no pic for me this week. Best I could come up with was a live porcupine, but I didn't take any pics with the bike in it.

[Burque73]

Kerrfunk and his pink elephant this week. Truly a gigantic animal and the bike beneath it gives a good perspective.

Voting for Charlie's fabulous Sasquatch.

[bccap]

I'm going with Charlie's Sasquatch..... Being a west coaster our Sasquatch could take out that sissy Yeti the Asians have with one swipe of his arm........

A vote for Spyders bulldog. The image has a togetherness about it - the contrasting highlights on dark of the bike and bulldog match, the angle of the forks and front legs match, all in an overall darker image.

I vote for SPIDER! Mainly because his motorcycle looks awesome with the black and chrome/polished aluminum. And my neighbor has a Bull Dog named Molly.

[kerrfunk]

I gotta go with Burque73 (Roger) for that creepy af centipede. Ack.

Thanks for the vote, Roger! May others be encouraged to follow you!
And honorable mention to Rich for the porcupine. That made me smile.

Great and challenging theme, Bob. That muskie is truly gigantic.

Ruthie from Redman rules!
She is in a trailer, can you imagine riding down the road and seeing that behemoth coming towards you?

[gustovh]

Charlie and big foot for me.

I have to go with bcap and his crab. Just a really cool artsy fartsy thing, lol...

[Redman]

Porkypine is a regular (and real) porkypine and has no bike. I have never seen one that close, but if I did, I would like for it to be on other side of fence like that.

I liked the chrome crab, amongst the entire place and surrounding area.

THe musky is the most gigantic.
CBX in line of elephants, interesting.
Rogers big bug, and that is a big bug, 3D, I think those shadows are real, not part of a image.
Bigfoot looks like he might step down from there and "throw a leg over".

I think of this game as something of a photo contest. So as far as an interesting picture OF the subject matter (and bike); I keep coming back to mine with the bike somewhat mimicking the stark cow, and Kerfunk's pink elephant. Both are interesting pictures of the subject-theme-category and bike, with little other distractions from the main subject-theme.

THe way Kerfunk's pic is posed really shows the size of the elephant compared to the bike, with the bike under and behind the elephant really makes the elephant stand out and look larger. The only distraction being the sun flares, but it kinda looks like the elephant is attacking the sun. Now, I suspect the "overexposure" and flares were inadvertent or maybe to get good exposure of the bike. And maybe the bike is behind the elephant because that is where the parking space was, and maybe took pic from the shadow side from concern of background clutter, but, anyway, that overall pose made it an interesting photo. The photo is an interesting picture of the gigantic animal and the bike (and that is the entire picture). And I can say most all the same for mine.

I think I have seen that elephant in the distance in other pics/poses, but this composition is quite interesting, especially for the category of "gigantic" animal. The only distraction is the overexposure/ flares, but in a way, that make the pic more interesting.

I would say mine and Kerry Kerfunks are close tie, but I will give him the benefit of the tie breaker. My vote is for Kerry Kerfunk's gigantic pink elephant.

Good week...

Liked them all this week...seriously.

kerrfunk - Outstanding framing of your bike. And the sunburst does not distract.

Redman - Dave, as always, great photo. That is not the first "cow on a trailer" I've seen. Wish you did one of two things. At least parked up a bit so I can read the sign on the trailer, or backed your bike up to the trailer, like you were towing it.

steve mudoch - Nice move putting the bike at the end of the elephant line. Would they have let you pull right on the grass behind them?

Burquet73 - Hands down the creepiest gigantic animal of the bunch...ick

bccap - Is this your first entry? Anyway, I love it. Just a stunning building and statue. Makes me want to visit.

Gustovh - That fish is the same size as your bike. Did you have to jump the curb to get up there?

My two favorites are Charlie G's and Spyder's

Charlie G - Great! Funny stuff and nicely shot. That is a perspective I appreciate. It really looks like he sees a neat, shinny thing, and you are digging for your keys....LOL

Spyder - Outstanding looking bike, and it works so well with the bulldog. Very nice photo. It is like they are both guarding something, maybe the tree?

Very, very tough call, but in the end, my vote is Charlie G's Big Foot...
