Since you guys don't know what a puppy looks like I am going to educate you.

I am revising the challenge to your local SPCA or animal shelter.

Bonus points if you can get a picture at the shelter WITH a puppy.

Bonus bonus points AND admiration if you make a small donation to the shelter.

A Puppy, we know what a puppy looks like!

Here is the problem...

Scenario 1
ME: psssst... hey you. You with the cute little puppy, come here a minute. I wanna take a picture of your puppy with my bike.
KID: Who me?
ME: Yeah...come here, I just need a quick picture to show all my friends.
KID: Of my puppy?
ME: Yeah, of your puppy!
SCREAMING KID: MOMMY!!!
ME: OH S**T!!
Scenario 2
ME: Howdy, cute puppy you got there!
LADY: Thanks
ME: How old is it?
LADY: 5 months old
ME: Perfect...say, I gotta favor to ask.
LADY: What's that?
ME: I need to take a pic to show my friends online.
LADY: What?
ME: I mean with your puppy
LADY: What? Are you some kinda...?
ME: NO... I mean... I just...
LADY: LEAVE ME ALONE FREAK! as she maces me...
The possibilities are endless!
Not asking anybody to take a picture with their puppy.
Luckily, you clarified that an animal shelter will do.
PERFECT!

I could have gotten several other shelters but I had one specifically in mind.

By profession, I'm a sign designer/illustrator and have always practiced my trade via computer but I've always admired those who mastered the brush.
My sign design HERO (Gary Anderson) is a true sign "Artist" and is a legend in his industry.
This sign is one of his later works and lacks the usual dimensional effects, but the layout is still solid.
So, in honor of my long time design inspiration...

After the 130 mile ride to get those pictures, I realized I didn't actually get a picture of the facility... hope these sign pics will be enough.
Let me know.
I'll call the next challenge if and when my pics are confirmed.

I was thinking along those lines about the puppy challenge but you articulated it so well.

I vote to confirm the pictures.

Next challenge: Your Sporty and one of those LARGE power line towers, except not just one.
The pic will need at least 5 towers in it.
Looking for that perspective effect...

I think you nailed it.

I was going to enter my shot on this challenge (would have been an easy one to get with all the lines around here) but the weather has me being a cager all week.
