LOL! That's just a word left over from my old psychology classes to express how one identifies with and ascribes human feelings and emotions to other things, animals in particular. And I do have a tendency to do that. Rod, remember your picture of the 3 pelicans - which I loved BTW. ;-) CJ

I was impressed with that word you used too CJ, had to look it up to be sure I had it right :-) Yes, I think if this were just an image for whatever and not specifically for this topic I would crop the bottom of the tank Rod.

Bleeding L Carole I think I'm in luv, "anthropomorphisize" where did you get that word from:-)
Good point Brent about the bottom reinforcing the gloom & I agree it does. I was just thinking more art shot without the tank in, as the colours & tones look quite unique.
So sad Brent! The bottom of the tank doesn't bother me, I think it actually does add to the caged look. Although I love eating lobster and crab, I could never watch them being plunged into boiling water - I tend to anthropomorphisize - it's enough to make me a vegetarian! CJ

Thanks Rich and Rod. Really, lose the lower part of the tank Rod? My idea is that it added to the gloom the way bars in front of a human prisoner would. Maybe the dirty glass makes it obvious enough the poor bugger (felt very sorry for it) is caged up?

I think with the bottom metal bit cropped off it would have a real air of mystery as the colours look really good in a strange sort of way. Goodun Brent:-)
