This photo was taken as this guy was licking his chops after eating some of the vegetation behind him.

Cool capture. I like it.

Raises the suggestion for a future motif: the bronx cheer!

(As a Red Sox fan, however, probably delay that motif until mid-October!)

EJ,

Thanks for the early morning chuckle. Great exposure and detail in the fur and the tongue is just plain entertaining.

Oh, I see now.
You said it was after eating, but at first I thought it was right after mating!

(I'm a really bad person this week! :roll: )

Cool shot EJ, and keep'em coming!

LOL. I can just hear it "Hey Rocky: thhhhpphhhht!!"

I'm amazed at my timing some times, I have quite a few tongues in my files.

Well done EJ. How did you meter this one? (That tongue is awfully light in reality compared to that fur--any special post-production work on this one?) Best, and see you in Bosque, Artie

Nothing special in the post processing dept - this is pretty much how it came out of the camera. Metering was intially done with a test shot and then adjusted if necessary via the histogram. I don't have any light or dark shots so it was good from the beginning.

This is great. Thought at first he might be panting after you chased him down for the shot.
