I'm Outta Here..

Missed! Thankfully, I have more merlins, or I'd be very pissed!
I guess I'd better start saving some of these butt and missed shots, if we are going to have WC's like this! Most of them get deleted in the field, and don't even make it home.

I love this Sandy. It looks like a dart that got stuck in the wall here. Nice color and details too....

I didn't know you ever missed, Sandy sad

I'd still be pissed given how sharp what there is of it looks.

Excellent image and meets the challenge head on. Mark's comment is one of the best I have read in a long time.
