Howdy!

Thanks to the user who suggested this idea. I think it's great!. The next topic is : Foreign Object. Simply take a picture of something that is out of place. A coffee cup in a forest, a can of pepsi in a coke machine, etc. Be creative!.

Rules: This is strictly a photography contest! No photo chopping, but contrast, brightness, levels and other minor touch-ups (healing tool will be allowed for film and print scans). Please avoid any text on the photograph, except at most a copyright statement, remember distractions like text can take away from the composition. Digital and film photography are both allowed. Only one submission per user will be allowed.

You MUST have taken the image yourself.

Max size dimension: 640px (including border)
Max file size: 150kb
File name: Please name your entry the same as your user name (or as close to as possible if your user name has characters that are not allowed in file names)
(Please ensure your entry meets the above before entering your image)

Length: Competition closes Wednesday March 18, 2009

Voting lasts five days after close of competition.

I was going to put the whole thing in my dryer for a multi-dimensional WTF effect, but I couldn't get the case to stand up and have the side facing the door so I could shoot it. :(

How can something be naturally out of place ?
If there's anything natural about it, wouldn't it not be out of place ? :scratchhead:

But it's there naturally, so it can't be out of place.
