subject matter is not my cup of tea at all.

i think the yawn shot makes it less unpalatable, however still not a fan of the subject matter.

Andrew Morrell Photography says:

Hello from a fellow front page of Flickr photog:

I was notified yesterday from another Flickrite that our photos are posted in someone else's photostream without any kind of attribution. I've notified the user that I'd like it removed, FYI.

Love your shot!
Posted 42 months ago. ( permalink )

True_Bavarian says:

Hi Andrew, thanks alot! It happened before - funny how someone can come with the idea to take a picture featured on the frontpage, put it in his photostream and belief that nobody will notice it :) In german there's a saying "Weiß der Geier" - the meaning is "nobody will understand that" but literally it means "The vulture knows..."

I like you highspeed dog too - great shot!
