    Amazing Peter. Always wondered what happened to Uncle Charlie. He disappeared about 63 years ago.

Looks like a "bad hair day" to me. Or maybe for a Yeti this is good.

I always say I look like a Yeti when I wake up in the morning, but now that I see this I don't think I'm that bad! lol Neat shot that doesn't look like it was taken in a museum. At first glace I thought it might be a live animal, but the reflections on the skin gave it away upon closer inspection. :~)

Well done Peter, but very ugly - not the photo just the subject. Unfortunately, unlike Aimee, I think I do look this bad on many mournings.

I'm curious, Peter, every time I take a self-portrait in a mirror, my camera is in the shot. Hod id you manage to get one without your camera in it? :o)

Nice work!

Hi Peter.
Well done. I like the dof and the critter's position in the frame.

The photograph is great Peter but reading the comments from the guys on this thread made me feel like I was on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In with all the one liners and rim shots that are being thrown around.

By the way, if you told us Dale was going to meet you in Cleveland to get his picture taken we could have had another Phello's meet up there..

I thought it was alive at first too...kind of disturbing. I like it a lot.

You are all crazy (well most of you). Here was I trying serious photography and just like Tony said you think you are scriptwriters for Rowan and Martin's laugh-in. Dale has me nervous though. I thought this guy was MY Uncle Charles; please tell me we are not cousins Dale.

I agree, great job.

I am glad you said where this fellow was from, I was concerned he was someone from one of your street shots.
