What They Say?

Challenge #53 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

See the sample photo. The gulls look like they're having a conversation. Can you imagine what about? Post your photo of animals or inanimate objects, and type their imagined "conversation" in the Description Field. Then see the other Entrants' images and suggest possible "conversations" in the Comment Fields below there. Should be fun reading... :) ATTENTION: Please observe all the rules! If your image is DQ'd, all the added comments will go too. So please double-check everything is correct BEFORE submitting your work!
