Ok, I had so much success with the "my street" entry I think I'll try another. In honor of Halloween we need something surreal, something weird like fog or dark woods. Black and white may be a winner as well as "spooky". No strange compositions....natura​l pics please. Sorry I don't have such a pic yet but I'll be looking.....

Go for it....

Function: adjective
Etymology: back-formation from surrealism

If your image stands on it own GREAT....otherwise feel free to add text. Just make sure it comes in under the limits for image files.

It's surreal if you ARE the bug....I'm sure you all have better ones, this is just something to get you started.

P.S. I can't take credit for this one.....this was taken by my friend Molly during the "look what I got" phase of showing off my new camera.

I think most competitions allow 2 photos per person so we'll go with that.

As for your pic...maybe a little more "unreality" is what I'm looking for. I quote from my original post

Don't have many surreal pictures, dunno if this qualifies or not heh. Don't know what you're looking for really. Might go on a hike down the street now (1:30AM) and take some pictures in the woods.

There we go...unusual colors and the tree looks like it is the focal point of some sort of vortex.

I like it...
