 Not sure if this meets the challenge or not to be honest, to me the word Serendipity is one of those words that has no real definition. This is going to be a very interesting challenge

As for this shot, it was a surprise when I saw the picture after I shot it, this is the new horse in the barn Harley and I was trying to get a decent shot of him so I could make up a calendar for his owner and this is what I got instead. A pleasant and funny surprise ;)

I liked this a lot - I am sorry that it didn't score more highly, definitely serendipitous

It's too bad the image is faded and lacking focus because it might have worked. As it is, there isn't enough surprise in seeing a horse's tongue sticking out to overcome the technical problems.

This is SO funny!!! I wish that I could have caught a shot like this! I do have one with my dog sticking his tongue out, but that is a little more common! :)

Photo seems a little dark, humorous though. I like the lines in this photo.

Awesome capture of a moment. Slight focus issues on the nose and some motion blur, bump up your iso and move to a faster shutter. The head is dominating the frame a bit much for my taste - give a tad more headroom. All in all excellent! (7)
