And I would dispute the "no evil here."
Did you follow for very long? I'm sure they "produced" some evil! Hope you missed it!

thank you Turner'sDad


I actually took the shot from a moving (however slowly) car
(the comments maybe were evil)

this is what is called a traffic jam in Ireland

OK, my entry of evildoer pic won't win any awards for composition or style (I took some much better ones of the perpetrator, before he decided I was a candidate for lunch), however these pics do meet the criteria for entry quite well. This is merely the most recent critter that has tried to chow down on me, whilst I am on a shoot by the way.

To set the scene, This vulture was initially quite accomodating and posed for some portraits without any fuss. The trouble started when I wandered off to shoot another bird in a nearby tree, I was concentrating on my new subject when I felt something chewing / pecking at my ankle. Looking down, I spotted baldy here trying to get a meal out of my lower leg, he soon realised that he wasn't going to get through my jeans and started on my shoes, then moved onto undoing my laces so I was wandering around struggling to keep my shoes on (I value my toes!). After trying to pull on my, by now undone, laces and drag me back to his lair, he eventually quit chasing me around (this after about 30 minutes of pecking, chewing and tugging). However, any time I stood still for more than a couple of minutes he would start sneaking up on me again, so I had to grab my shots of other birds and keep moving on.

As I say, not my best pics, but that is definitely me confronting the evil

just terrific Sandpiper
clear winners


the shots needed refreshing, they were way back.... so repeating them here if it's ok

Thank you Maria. Now off you go girl to the new theme....""Bird/Animal Antrophomorphism" ( )....you should be able to contribute a lot there.
