    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?

    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.

    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?

    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...

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