A beauty of a yawning pose here Ben, love the drool with nice tongue detail. It does look a little too orange on my cal monitor however, ..........easily fixed.

Ben,

I cannot help but agree wih Marc on the colour cast on this one, but it is a lovely pose.

I would have done a repost but it does not seem to want me to?

[Harshad Barve]

Wow image , love the details and saliva line , color cast mentioned and agreed

The yawn illustrates well that rasping tongue and as Harshad mentioned, the saliva is a great bonus. If you have room on the RHS I might just increase the crop so it doesn't clip the whiskers, but not a big deal if you haven't. Did you lighten the area area towards the back of the throat?

Good to see you posting again.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, did lighten a little at the back of the throat. Repost with yellow and red turned down a little. I found the sharpness on my photo less than on a different web site. Brendon Cremer had the same problem with his jumping lechwe. Not that my photo is on the same level as his.:w3:w3

Hi Ben, the colour is still quite strong, however rather than trying to adjust the colour on this file if you have the time, you could revisit the original and looking at the WB again?

[Morkel Erasmus]

Nice look down his throat here, Ben. Repost is an improvement in the colour department, yet I still feel it looks a tad underexposed and can do with a lift in levels or curves...:S3:

Ben,

Seems that everthing maybe working , so this is the repost I tried before

[BenBotha]

Thanks for the comments and Ken I do like your version. Thanks for the help.

You have captured an awesome yawn!
Color cast corrected, the pic looks smashing!
Wonderful details, teeth, inside of mouth, saliva all inclusive.
