A lot of the avatars I see around POTN are pretty funny. How about a place where you can shout out your favorites?

I'll start with some obvious ones. Permagrin always has a good one and so does Jamie Holladay. I also like FuryMe's, I always get confused.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Joining the self promotion train, I custom made mine. I took that famous Ansel Adams photo of the guy photographing on the roof of his car, took out the large format camera, and put in a 1D with a 600mm on it. Unfortunately it's a bit hard to see with the small forum limit size, but it allowed me to do a sloppy PSing job.

I think it would get deleted quite quickly. Giving public praise is fine, but the heaping of public scorn is frowned upon. I agree with that policy, by the way. I'm just rankled by one in particular that to me seems intended to intimidate. I'll mention no names.

I did report an instance of it, but there has been no change, so I assume that the mods deem it acceptable. I can live with that, I'll just keep cringing and ducking whenever I happen to run across it.

...
sorry for the digression

There are a few good ones floating around. I'm thinking maybe I should change mine to something else, I've had this one for a few months.

This one usually makes me chuckle, especially when combined with a witty retort :D

Ahh that would be telling. Glad you like it anyway ;)

I've actually lost count of the number of PMs about my avatar over the years :D
