This bull was along a road in Elk County, Pennsylvania on Sunday, but is now posted in the fauna gallery. The sign was blank, and he stood there studying it for a moment. Thanks to Jenny Ellerbe for letting me know that it fit this week's motif, and to Tim Grams for suggesting that the sign really was begging for some text to be added in PS. This was the best that my tired brain could put out tonight, so if anybody has any better ideas, I'd appreciate them!

Canon Elan 7e, 100-400 IS, Velvia 100. Thanks for looking, and your feedback is appreciated!

Very funny - you could try a free transform of the text layer in PS - get it to match the perspective of the sign a touch more - make it look even more convincing. :) Great idea!

lol - great capture..


I don't think it's better but how about "Warning - No three-legged Elk beyond this point"

Just a thought :)
