Is it the tail of an animal?

It does, doesn't it.
It's not any kind of myriapod-like thing though.

By the way, which of those lenses is sharpest?

The ones from my signature? The 55mm is very sharp, but the 135mm is the sharpest.


Gripped bad boi Canon XT, Sigma 50mm f/2.8 Macro || Canon 5D III, Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art || Sony A7RIIIA, Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art, Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art, Sony 30mm f/3.5 Macro

Doesn't ring any bells.

Not part of a ravenclaw, gryffindor, hufflepuff or slytherin.

Interesting. Their 50 STM is "very" too. Wonder how the Zeiss 135/2 compares..

Yes it's part of the tail of the animal.

We've ruled out mammals, birds (egg layers), and fish and other aquatic creatures. Insects and arachnids are probably, though not absolutely, ruled out by size. Is it either a reptile or an amphibian?

What about the tail from a wandering albatross?


Failing that, a peacock?
