I would like to think of it as sharing, although it's probably more like infecting.
i don't there are any vaccines available at the moment

Shit is most holy. It is exactly what it claims to be, it is pure and innocent.
Thank you kindly for the favorite/s !!

Alligator eyes are pretty cool. Even on birds

Okay, I know this is very presumptious of me (ooh, using the Big Girl words now!), but I thought I'd give some critique . . . With your egg cracks, my eyes went straight to those when viewing in detail, and I think they might look better with some sharpening up to give them that cracked edge. Also (don't hit me) the baby's skull could do with some sharpening as well? With the contrast between the very sharp egg and his head so close, it makes it easier to spot the manip.
Okay, I'm done
Otherwise, another masterpiece!

Thankyou so much, It's been my experience that if you want to combine things in the easiest way (and I'm lazy as hell), take photographs of each in the same spot under the same light. Not an original concept, but it makes my life easier

I'm finding it to be less problematic to set up all my own shots than it is to hunt for photos on the web. I give up a little of variety, but gain alot of control. Yin-Yang.

That is so hot.
Dag, I've been hanging around the lounge at my school too much. I'm using "hot" to describe anything I find really cool.
Regardless, this is going in my favorites.

Yeah, I've noticed that you are sounding very trendy and edgy lately. You lounge lizard!!
Thx for the 
* I say "sweet" all the time, but I have no real excuse for it...........

Edgy, yes. Trendy, no.
Only the anime and video game geeks hang out in the lounge at our school. None of the "cool" people go there for anything more than a soda.
Bastards, the lot of them.

Cool idea, a bird with teeth. You have a good imagination. That picture is rendered very well. Good job.

woah, this is just freakishly awesome. I love the egg most of all. I know what urchin shells look like and I never even would have guessed xD My favorite thing is when they break and make that zig-zag motion. the beaks of these guys are sharp lookin' in both the phrase and in the way they look! *ends comment before she gets even more vague*

I Love the fact that you know to use the word 'test' in reference to a sea urchin exoskeleton! Muy Impresivo!

Heh. When you actively collect seashells, you pick up a few things. Haven't done it in years, but I can remember that at least.

My problem is that I pick up everything all the time no matter where i am. The seashore is just my latest collecting ground. I gotta start throwing some things away!!!

Woo, that's cool. That's one scary birdy, tho. o.o...

That's the reaction i was going for; did you get a little warm fuzzy for the baby too? Or just more scariness?
Thx for the comment!!!
