marlin

For the artist challenge
The marlin appeared in the Christmas junkmail from the local hunting and fishing store, so this was meant to be. To be honest hunting and fishing for sport seems cruel and self-indulgent to me. In the same flyer was a picture of some guy with a giant fish tied to the front of his model T.
I imagined the fisherman having to catch a bus with his catch....

Probably best viewed large.

gawjus! fav agree - if you kill it, eat it - it does not make your penis larger

[Corrie]

Stunning work!

[Julie Duncan]

This is very interesting! The element of humor is there, but the dark tones suggest very strongly your views on hunting/fishing for sport. Great photo!
