I'm not dead, just one too many pints last night...

This one made me chuckle. They just lay there until the tide comes in, even though the water is only a few feet away. Crop, ACR, CS5, touched up some dark areas in BG.

Made me smile too. Isn't this what they call "planking" :t3 I like the overall color tone and the subtle spots on his fur. The look on his face and the spot of color from the tongue top it off.

Brendan - definitely an image that makes you smile. The tongue sticking out makes the image. Well seen and captured.

Nice fun image Brendan. Great IQ and light. The sand on the seal and the pink tongue add a lot to the image as does that wonderful expression.

Love the low angle and the clean surroundings. The tongue really makes this image! Adds a nice splash of color as well.

[Brendan Dozier]

Thanks folks, much appreciated, I agree the tongue does make this one.

Steve, that is so funny, I just had a friend tell me about that silly trend called "planking" a few weeks ago, and your right, this does kind of fit the description! :bg3:

This is a beauty ! Loved the caption and the placement of the seal and and the sand on it !! The tongue sticking out makes this image !!

[Morkel Erasmus]

The expression of glee and expectation for the water to rush in you managed to capture here is just priceless Brendan! :Whoa!::5

[Grace Scalzo]

This is excellent, the processing looks superb. The pink tongue is what completes it for me. Kind of rare that an animal image with eyes closed works like this one does.

[Brendan Dozier]

Thanks very much Rakesh, Morkel, & Grace!
