Congratulations! What is it?

[darwinian_man]

Thanks! It's just a photography competition organized by the OU Natural History Museum.

But what is the picture of? Is it snake?

[darwinian_man]

Yup. Well, most of a snake, with double exposure to give it a weird blurred quality. And the aristic reasoning behind using that technique is... er... too complicated to explain ;)

[darcydodo]

Aww, you took a picture of Mua'dib! ;)

[darwinian_man]

Yes, they got the labelling wrong on the website: it's actually the 19 and over category shown - don't worry, I didn't deviously enter the kids' category! :)

[darwinian_man]

NO! That's SO unfair! I HATE you! [Goes off in tantrum]

Congratulations, Chris, that's fantastic! (Also forwarding to my mentor's daughter, who adores all things crawly at the moment.)

*Blushes* Well, it was only a little photography competition. Most of my photographs are of snails, which aren't hugely photogenic (I have around 250 snail photographs from Indonesia on my computer at the moment, and 3 photographs of humans - this probably speaks unpleasant volumes about my character!). Thanks for the nice comment, though. :)

If there were 250 humans who carried their houses on their backs, I'm sure you'd have photos of *them*. Not your fault that snails are more interesting.

My thoughts entirely. :)
