It might look like a fearsome carnivore, but it’s completely harmless – and it’s inanimate as well!
It’s simply a potted indoor plant outside the restaurant at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra. The shape of the leaves caught my eye and when I found the correct angle, enabling me to shoot it in silhouette against one of many lamps, I knew I had an unusual result!

It's a wide mouthed frog with a set of dentures! LOL
Love that. Very creative! :)
Jaws outside a restaurant - quite symbolic!
Wonderful silhouette!
I didn't think of that, Maggie. Thank you for putting it in a completely fresh perspective!
Thanks, Brian - I'm glad that it appealed to your sense of creative silhouettes. Great to hear that!
Nice "vision", Jinksy. Thanks for pointing that out. Maggie May also said it reminded her of a kingfisher.
I guess it's like different people seeing different images in the same cloud!
Thank you, Kat - hope you and the family are enjoying the summer and that you've been out and about taking lots of photographs!
Hi, Cheshire Wife - I hadn't thought of that symbolism. VERY appropriate!
Thank you, LadyFi - the strength of that silhouette really stopped me in my tracks!
Very effective and interesting shapes, David
