CONTEST: Write Your Own Title For This Quirky Image by

Here’s the challenge: You can write your own title for this shot. It can be funny, punny, quirky, poignant, reflective, historical, hysterical – anything you like.

All you have to do to enter is submit your title as a comment here.

Yes, you can enter as many times as you want, on as many days as you want. You can keep coming back, looking at other people’s titles and keep adding your own. The contest will close at midday (Melbourne time) on Friday.

There’s only one rule: no profanity. Have fun …. I’m throwing the gauntlet down NOW!

This image was shot at the Sunday market at the bayside suburb of St Kilda last weekend.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, focal length 50mm.

AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS:

There were so many great entries this week that the judges were rubbing their hands with glee.

In joint tenth place we have Chili with ``Colin had won the worst tie of the week competition just one too many times.‘’ and MaryLouF with ``You mean to tell me the pail and jacket don’t match?’’

In joint ninth place we have Judi Rustage with ``Brian Carroll goes undercover to check out the talent at the market.‘’ and TwinnieE with ``Working undercover wasn’t quite what Tom had expected.’’

In joint eighth place we have MaryLynn ``Hmmm …. anyone seen my bucket list?‘’ and Luke Griffin with ``I know I put my bucket list in here somewhere!!’’

In joint seventh place we have Bevellee with ``There’s a head in the bucket dear Henry, dear Henry.‘’ and Ellis Morley Photography with ``Worried about aliens and clean out of tin foil, Freddie decided to improvise.’’

In joint sixth place we have Georgie Hart with ``Honestly it’s the best accessory to wear when eating hot dogs – tomato sauce and mustard just blend right in!‘’ and Ben Waggoner with ``Herald really mourned after several of his friends kicked the bucket, mainly because his ears wouldn’t stop ringing.’’

In joint fifth place we have Jordan Miscamble with ``Australia’s new Defence Forces Uniform is now on display! If you won’t die laughing, we’ll get you while you’re distracted.‘’ and Ben Loveday with ``After presenting the new Aussie Olympic Uniform, the committee sacked the designer.’’

In fourth place we have CapturedByKylie with ``I knew I shouldn’t have dug deeper and deeper into the family tree. People have always said I looked a bit like the Tin Man from The Wizard of OZ, but now its official – WE ARE RELATED!!’’

In joint third place we have Alixzandra with ``If Mr X was going to be taken seriously in the superhero market, he really needed to rethink his disguise.‘’ and Woodie with ``Prince William’s stag night got a little out of hand.’’

In joint second place we have Ranald with ``Ned Kelly thought he needed to make some minor adjustments after his first fitting.‘’ and Personify with ``My thinking cap.’’

    Australia’s new Defence Forces Uniform is now on display! “If you wont die laughing, we’ll get you while you’re distracted.”

  • It brings camouflage to a new level.
