[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A lioness was busy cleaning herself, the way that all cats do. She was really close to where I was watching her. So I took the shot with the 500mm lens while resting it on a bean bag. I cropped it a bit closer so that the texture of the tongue can be appreciated.

Thank you for your visit.

BEn

Hey there BEn

Either you have a hot zoom or are extreemly brave my friend.

Superb capture and a rare POV

Great work

TFS regards Helen

:-) first thing in the morning

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see you used a long lens to capture this moment. I like the fine details of the lioness and the excellent pattern of the tongue. A nice picture with good light and colours. The artistic nature of the image is evident as you managed to show just a detail of the head. Nice work Ben.

Hi Ben,
I "studied" cat's tongues close-up and indeed just like the lionesses tongue....
Lovely cropped close-up.

Just the tongue alone would scrap all the skin off me, never mind the teeth breaking my bones! Nice zoom shot here Ben! Glad you were far away and didn't end up as lunch meat!

Hi there!

I love the textures and colours, it gives a real "feel" to the pic.
Well done!

Een sterke een ! Groete
