ROUS Final

Blasted rats! After trying to recover the remains of my flashlight, I needed to clear my mind. I took the gravel path through the woods as it's usually a very peaceful trek home. Not this time. I heard a rustling, grunting, gnarly sound amongst the trees and quickened my pace homeward. Suddenly, a legendary ROUS (for those of you unfamiliar with The Princess Bride, ROUS stands for Rodent of Unusual Size) stepped in my path and dared me to go further. I snapped a pic and ran home via a non-path, hitting every bush and tree along the way. Does anybody have any extremely large rat traps I could borrow?

    Awesome. You know, by the shallow depth o field, it feels like the forest is tiny instead of the rat being big. The size of the grass also contributes to the feeling. If the rat was big, the grass would be super tiny in the scene.

      Correct as usual. Sometimes I fail to notice important details like that. Thanks for the comment.
