Macruran's unused concepts for the Outdoors photo contest

[Macruran]

So we can only submit three pics for the contest. However I had about a dozen ideas. Here are the ones I didn't enter into the contest. For all i know some of them are better than my entries.

"I think I need more cowbell."



The title is a reference to a famous American comedy skit: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/more-cowbell-with-will-ferrell-on-snl--video--saturday-night-live--nbc/n41046

"The hiiiillls are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiive..."



All the photos here were taken in my back yard, apart from this one. I shot this at the top of Mount Tabor, which is supposedly the only volcano within city limits anywhere in the US. If you look closely you can see Mount Hood in the distance.

I like Pin in Clover 1 best, but there are many other good ones in the selection.

Greta photos you certainly show a unique way of looking at things and sense of perspective with some of your photos like with the ferns cute  , like the baby cows, Pig in Clover 1 looks really happy, Jungle Music is a great close up and the face on the guy who has discovered the tiger is perfect

the face on the guy who has discovered the tiger is perfect 

We had to do several takes before he nailed the expression. Acting!

The Hills are Alive 

Lovely, all of them! Glad we got to see all of your tries. You do realize you can't use them in the Photocontests to come, now?

Love the first pig and cow ones

Yes, I know. I just had to get them out. I'll come up with even more ideas for future contests!
