A gorgeous Black & White image, excellent DOF, and lovely presentation...! I wonder who killed the crows ?

@observing: These are actually very big fish heads. I couldn't tell what they were until I got up close.

I'd sure hate to meet the folks who pin this stuff here . . but love the evil presentation skill applied.

@Ronnie 2¢: There was a house in the distance....don't know if they hung this on the fence or not.

@grant: That's what my wife says, but maybe it's just what you find in Texas when you pay attention.

It looks more birdy than fishy

Crazy things in Texas. Are these fish heads?

@Amir: Yes.

bm from Budapest, Hungary

that's a very intriguing subject...why would people hang fish heads on a barbed wire fence?

@bm: Hey, what can I say, this is not only America, but Texas. This was also in a location where you have to make some extra effort to hang fish --for no apparent reason.

lisa v from Gawler, Australia

GROSS..why on earth would you do that? very good image though.

@lisa v: This best explanation I can offer is this: America and Texas.

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Hard to tell what they are, you've had animals from the land now from the waters. Is this some kind of SW ritual of hanging animals on wired fences?

@JoeB: I approached with some trepidation. Looks obvious to me now but I couldn't tell what they were until I within a few feet and took a good look.

Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan

Is this related to your other weird shot you posted with that animal hanging on the fence...? What on earth is happening! Is hanging animal parts on fences maybe some traditional preparation for Texan cuisine...?

@Daryl: Very different locations. This was alongside a main rural highway. The other shot was taken on a back country gravel road. I didn't know what these were until I got up close.

Sandy from Ontario, United States

great capture...I bet the folks who did this didn't think someone would make a great photo from it...very interesting in deed! AND the B/W is perfect for this image!
