I wonder how many non Aussies will work out what it is in your pic rawshorty? Great pic by the way.

Thanks, it is an unusual Mammal

It's actually a small piece of liver on a large plate.

rawshorty, how much of that is the platypus? At first I took it for a landscape. It's a wonderful shot, but it's mystifying for the ignorant.

Thanks, i don't normally encourage people to use Wiki but it is accurate this time.
It should clear it up for you and a good read on this fascinating Mammal.
Edit: My lens was at water level for the shot adding to the confusion.

Well, that's what I thought the very moment I saw it. A very cleverly executed shot of liver in the middle of a large plate. The 'inappropriate' comment was added because I probably should have kept the thought to myself instead of posting it. If an admin deleted it, I would not be surprised... nor angry.

On recognizing it for what it really is - it's an awesome shot.
