Digital Speed Challenge #908 A photo that surprised you - the expression on the person you were photographing, something in the frame that you didn't expect. Something unusual. And tell us under the photo (not in the title) what the surprise was. Surprise us.
This week we are looking for any image that when you look at it, it had a surprise for you.
This is an example - not eligible for two reasons - taken in 1982 so not digital, and I didn't take the photo. My son was taking a photo of his sister before her competition and the horse stuck his tongue out at the moment he clicked the shutter.

This challenge begins when posted and ends at midnight GMT on Monday May 11h. The winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
The Challenge Rules:
1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERA is allowed.
2. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
3. Size: Maximum image size is 1600px on the long end. Minimum size is 800px.
4. Post Processing: Do whatever you like, and the host will decide if it works.
5. Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer per challenge. List camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data: ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
6. Commenting: No commenting and Likes during challenge. After the challenge is closed discussion is encouraged.
7. Keep it clean, and both family and work safe.
8. Have lots of FUN.
9. This text is availabe in a sticky. Copy the text and paste it in the new thread.
>> THE WINNER ALWAYS SETS THE THEME FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE, POSTS IT AND JUDGES IT - BE PREPARED <<
