Okay...Elf should post the "are you lookin' at ME?" shot here:
https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=111983

It's the best of the humorous content...
The others' meanings are too personal to win...
I would vote for Nix for seeing the possibilities of mixed realities...
I would vote for my own pix for the same reason as for Nix, but it only becomes a "joke" when I posted it like this to set the viewer up..it makes more sense if you get it, but the rules said I couldn't post 2 pix...and the funny thing is, most of my friends who received it by email didn't...
